Abortion Means ExcommunicationLos Angeles — (NC)—Striking out against efforts to easeCalifornia’s abortion law, Archbishop Timothy Manning of Los Angeles asserted: “All the violence, madness and malice ofour times are summed up inabortion.”“We tremble for our country as we pray that the justice of God will not fall on us,” he said, in a formal statement to the people of his archdiocese.“Our life is a sacred gift entrusted to .us by God. Its beginning and its ending are reserved to Him. The Commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ is the unchangeable law of God, from Sinai through Judeo-Christian transmission until this hour. No legislation of man can amend or change it”Archbishop Manning said such divine law was also canonized in Church law. The direct intention of destroying a non-viable fetus incurs the penalty of excommunication.”
