Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn has excommunicated a woman who was recently ordained a priest. http://ncronline.org/news/faith-parish/kansas-citys-first-woman-priest-has-been-excommunicated   

No matter what one thinks of the notion of female Catholic priests, it's worth noting that in the 25 years our group has been around, we don't know of a single Catholic official who has ever been excommunicated for committing or concealing child sex crimes.

(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We were founded in 1988 and have more than 20,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)
