Easy enough to get around the first problem - name names in one's interdicts. That was more of what I was getting at anyway. Interdict is a less severe action than excommunication (although, as best as I can understand it, under the new code, there isn't a lot of practical difference between excommunication and interdict for laypersons), and thus is a tool of the local ordinary that isn't quite as “nuclear.”
As for the second issue, from what I've read in the Companion to the Catechism, the ordinary specifically has the authority to regulate public worship in his diocese, and even clergy who are members of religious orders are subject to his jurisdiction.
In any event, I went back and read the wimpy words that Bishop D'Arcy offered up when Notre Dame permitted the Vagina Monologues on campus. No wonder Fr. Jenkins didn't think twice to invite the anti-Christ Obama. He knew he could roll the bishop, no problem.

And again, it appears that Bishop Martino in Scranton has acted much more practically and forcefully in dealing with Misericordia. So, even if my own suggestions are for naught, Bishop Martino shows us that there are steps between denying the Catholic identity of the school and basically saying a few contrary words and otherwise doing nothing.

Okay, so you’re not only know better than the bishop but also a canon lawyer who most definitely is on our side. Since you’re willing to throw Ed Peters under the bus, I expect soon to hear you giving advice to Benedict XVI about what he ought to do to solve the Church’s problems.
I leave you to your own counsel of which you are so fond.
