Just for what it's worth: it's a lot easier to get excommunicated from EA than from the Catholic Church, where it is more or less impossible to accomplish that. I think this comes up a lot because Catholics "own" the term "excommunication", but if you've got the sense that it's an ordinary thing that happens in the church, well, no. Sinéad O'Connor had to beg for it, and still didn't get it. (Has anyone in the world ever been as thoroughly vindicated as Sinéad, though?)
