Milingo excommunicates himself over the weekend

Rocco reports: "After ratcheting it up a bit last week, renegade Zambian prelate [Milingo] "installs" four bishops over the weekend."

Peters proclaims: "the notorious Abp. Milingo has just walked right into an unambiguous excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See (1983 CIC 1382)."

Well, we don't have to wait until October 15th anymore (Milingo's previous ultimatum set by Cardinal Re).

Canon Lawyer Ed Peters will be talking about this turn of events tomorrow with WDEO's Al Kresta, at 4 pm Eastern. He also has a whole book on excommunication coming out soon from Ascension Press and they are already accepting advance orders.

(full disclosure: Ed Peters is my father ... but hey, the book is still great!).

Update: CWNews has released its coverage.
