Do you have some evidence that Miss Fluke claims to be Catholic? Slick Willy went to Georgetown and he is no Catholic and never claimed to be. I suspect that a majority of Georgetown Law School students are not Catholic.
We Catholics have enough to bear with the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Rosa DeLauro, Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, anything named Kennedy, Susan Collins, Patrick Leahy, Kathleen Sebelius, Dick Durbin, Pat Quinn, Jerry Brown, Tom Harkin, Jim Moran, Tom Perriello, Tim Kaine, Mario Cuomo, Anthony Cuomo, and so many, many others of their self-excommunicated ilk. We don't need to collect questionables like Miss Fluke.
At least the Vatican has been making a point of appointing mostly Catholics as bishops lately.
Just what are you expecting by way of public excommunication? The government gets fussy nowadays if we ask that they be burned at the stake. In medieval times, there used to be some colorful but nonviolent ceremonies usually performed at a cathedral by a bishop in full regalia snuffing out candles to represent the souls of the excommunicated but imagine that being televised on 60 Minutes.
In this era, there are various other methods. The primary one is that those who commit mortal sin and are unrepentant (have not confessed and received forgiveness) are automatically excommunicated (are not to receive the Holy Eucharist under penalty of further mortal sin) until they confess and receive forgiveness. Dying in such a state of sin sends the unrepentant to eternal damnation which seems likely to be even more serious than being burned at the stake. There are specific sins in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (including material cooperation with abortion) which carry an automatic excommunication (called a latae sententiae excommunication).
Personally, I think that a weekly television series produced by Church officials featuring some ceremonial and publicly declaring the excommunication of the miscreants of the week would make for great ratings and very praiseworthy results but that is above my pay grade as a mere member in the pews. Narration or even action by a Fulton Sheen type would be nice. He had a sense of dramatic timing and a genuine feel for the medium of television.
EXCOMMUNICATION! could be the ultimate reality show. The pedestrian automatic kind of excommunication is less dramatic, less emotionally satisfying but every bit as effective as to the miscreant.
Georgetown is only 60 percent Catholic. School of Foreign Service, where Slick went, probably even less so. Law also.
“EXCOMMUNICATION! could be the ultimate reality show”
It would be entertaining and enlightening! It may do a better catechesis too. It would make fast work of Pelosi et al.
