Trio of Thieves Ex-Communicated

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Swift justice was meted out for a trio
of thieves who stole from a Roman Catholic church during Mass
in Colombia, authorities say.

Church officials said the three, who held worshipers at bay
with pistols Sunday as they robbed the gold-plated crown off a
statue of the Virgin of Fatima, were still at large.

But they were ``automatically'' cut off from communion or
future membership in the church.

``The church is the Mother and it does not punish,'' Father
Octavio Martinez, the parish priest in the southwest city of
Cali where the robbery occurred, said Monday.

``But these three were automatically ex-communicated for
their criminal act,'' he said.

Martinez said the crown from the statue on the altar of his
La Cayetana church was practically worthless in terms of the
gold it contained.

But he added that ``the spiritual value is immense'' and said
it was purloined precisely at the moment when his parishioners
were praying for peace in their war-ravaged homeland.

Colombia, dubbed the country of the Sacred Heart in
colonial times, is a predominantly Roman Catholic nation.

But blasphemy appeared to reach new levels in Cali in May,
1999, when Cuban-inspired National Liberation Army rebels
kidnapped about 160 people from the city's La Maria church.

In that case too, Roman Catholic clergymen said the
culprits had been ex-communicated.
