Therefore, according to Catholicism, persons who are excommunicate, unless they repent and are reconciled to the Catholic Church, are condemned to hell.

Wrong again.

To my knowledge, none of these excommunications have been rescinded.

Nor should they be. People who do not believe in the sacraments of the Catholic Church should not be invited to participate in them.

Again, this has absolutely nothing to do with condemning people to hell - something the Church is not in the business of doing.

Are people who are excommunicate not cut off from the Body of Christ?
