Vatican backs archbishop in segregationist excommunication
Vatican sources say Archbishop Joseph-Francis Rummel of New Orleans acts with full ecclesiastical authority after excommunicating three segregationists. The move, long opposed to racial segregation, aligns with papal leaders who have condemned racism. Canon Law grants bishops broad governance and disciplinary powers.

Husband Asks Equal Censure After Excommunication Row
In New Orleans AP reports the husband of a segregationist excommunicated Catholic woman asked Archbishop Rummel for the same censure. Bernard Gaillot urged that if his wife is truly excommunicated, he should be as well. A dramatic plea followed as Mrs Gaillot, 41, appealed on the archbishop’s doorstep amid pickets over desegregation of parochial schools. The notice also includes a lengthy legal foreclosure item from Ohio.
