Should not the Bishop declare that he has removed himself from the church by his actions and thus bar him from the sacrament of marriage within the church?

You are correct, Mr. Schiavo should be ex-communicated from the Catholic Church for openly and brazenly breaking Commandments number 5, 6 and 8.

How can a Catholic bishop excommunicate a Protestant? It doesn't make any sense.
