Here's where you and the Catholic Church differ. She is perfectly welcome as a member of the Church. HOWEVER, she is expected to repent AND to sin no more.

Your HOWEVER is exactly my point. My limited understanding of the Catholic church is that people who repeatedly commit mortal sins and are unrepentant are excommunicated, not awarded.

Have I got that wrong?

Well, kinda.

People who are in the state of mortal sin may NOT receive the sacraments (except confession.) Excommunication is applied only in a few specific instances, such as participation in abortion, open heresy, etc.

So technically the woman is not excommunicated.
