I just read the excerpts, but it seems like he hasn't overtly contradicted Church teachings, just incited people against the Roman Pontiff. Any canonical penalty therefore would be ferendae sententiae, requiring the involvement of the bishop.

If he were to commit heresy, the penalty (excommunication) would be latae sententiae, or automatic without sentence.
