IIRC, the Schindlers are Catholic, Schiavo is not. Thus, RCC can have rather limited impact in that regard.
His mistress is Catholic. If they tried to marry in the Church, they would consider him an adulterer.
Just a quick question and this isn't directed at anyone. How exactly is it going to effect Michael? I am really in the dark on this one, but I don't see them excommunicating him from the church as being a HUGE impact on him. If he were a god fearing man to begin with, this whole fiasco would be over already.
