Why don’t they excommunicate pedophile priests?

Religions excommunicate heretics, and not sinners.

There is nothing heretical about murder, incest, pedophilia or thievery etc.

Holding and persisting in views contrary to the teaching of the religion is heresy.

You can be forgiven for your sins, but not for heresy. - tom - Tom

They do.

However, if an excommunicant confesses their sin and begs for forgiveness, the excommunication will be lifted.

When you toss out all of the sinners, there is no church!

That’s not what this is about.

Didn't you see the South Park episode that explained pedophila was part of their tenets?
