Hahahaha! Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he just call Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “Cafeteria Catholic” or didn't he? What do you think would be the political ramifications if Speaker Pelosi and Senator Biden were excommunicated between now and November?

You need to bone up on excommunications. The majority of excommunications are 'latae sentiae' meaning the person excommunicates themself (ex: the women who have themselves ordained priests). Otherwise, the church constantly seeks to educate the individual in church teachings and call them to repentance.

Pelosi needs to 'wake up' to the truth of abortion, fully acknowledge it as a mortal sin and ask our Lord to "be merciful to me, a sinner" for her support of this evil blight on society.

Is there any chance at all that that will happen? Pelosi's archbishop (in San Francisco) has just released a letter in which he refers to all the thousands of emails he has received and the pressure that has been put upon him about her statements, highly commends her for her support for the social policies of the Church (I guess to the tune of thousands of dollars) - then corrects her on abortion and invites her to come in for a talk with him.

It looks to me as if he just released that letter as a means of tamping down the pressure from lay Catholics in his area and is just hoping that this will all blow over.

Calling Nancy Pelosi a "cafeteria Catholic" implies that she is Catholic when she most certainly is not! As the bishop points out, she has formed her own flawed "homocracy" and then notes those areas in which her pagan-secular humanistic philosophy aligns with Catholic teaching/Catholic theology and implies that she is Catholic at least in those areas because of that alignment.

I have a cat who is a foodaholic. My Ms. Pelosi's illogic that would make my cat fooda catholic just because I can realign the letter.

I think he called her a Hell-bound heretic.
