Just out of curiosity, how many defiant/deviant Roman Catholics has Archbishop Chaput excommunicated since assuming power in Denver?

You need to update your understanding of excommunication. Good resource

The bishop's responsibility is to educate those who are ignorant in their Catholic faith. When that fails, he has other options. Excommunication is a last resort.

Sounds like the do-nothing Congress to me. Are Kennedy, Pelosi and Biden's immortal souls in danger or not? Have any of them indicated any sort of willingness to listen to the "dialogue"? Or is the good Archbishop really just preaching to the choir?
