The Archdiocese strikes back-—sort of.

Questions for Roman Catholic FReepers re Cuomo:

(1) What would Cuomo have to do to be excommunicated from the Church and how close is he now with his rhetorical outburst?

(2) Which Church official(s) would have the authority to excommunicate him if deemed appropriate to do so?

While I cannot speak for either of his bishops, you need to remember that Cuomo has self-excommunicated himself from the church. Excommunication of public officials is rarely used any more. Check out the list of all who have been excommunicated from the Catholic Church since the 1st century. The majority are religious.
