Excommunication:<\/a><\/p>\n

The Vatican on Thursday excommunicated two bishops ordained by China’s state-controlled church without the pope’s consent, escalating tensions as the two sides explored preliminary moves toward improving ties. <\/p>\n

The Vatican also excommunicated the two bishops who ordained them, citing church law. <\/p>\n

Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls cited Article 1382 of the Roman Catholic Church’s canon law. That article states that "both the bishop who, without a pontifical mandate, consecrates a person a bishop, and the one who receives the consecration from him, incur a ‘latae sententiae excommunication,’" which means they are automatically excommunicated. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
