The Pope has full jurisdiction in the Latin Church.

I wish that he would excommunicate such as Mikulski, Pelosi and Biden just to set things straight.

If it's true that he can, I agree. And a variety of others around the world, just to be fair. Pour encourager les autres.

The Church is universal. It is not a dictatorship. The pope constantly addresses these issues with Catholic 'politicians' around the globe. But the responsibility to act remains with the local ordinary, as Tax Chick already indicated. Which leads to the next question .....

Why Doesn't the Pope Do Something about "Bad" Bishops?
