> No need. She has excommunicated herself.

You know, I hear that a lot. I’ve heard it about Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and a great many more high-profile “Catholics” that not only reject the Church’s teaching on major moral issues, but actively promote the opposing view and even publicly excoriate the Church for its positions.

Yet, these people are still allowed to attend Mass, they are still allowed to receive communion, they are still allowed to call themselves “Catholic” and obtain the votes of Catholics.

The Church is doing NOTHING to stop them.

The Church should be actively excommunicating them by refusing to administer any rites or sacraments to them.

They should not even be allowed to enter the Church building until they REPENT!

The Bible is clear about how you treat those who call themselves “brothers” but walk disorderly.

You are not to eat with them nor keep company with them. They must be shunned.

“They should not even be allowed to enter the Church building until they REPENT!”

Excommunicated people are still required to attend Church and hear the gospel, to my understanding.
