Previous question seems to be answered....

New NARAL President Another Pro-Abort "Catholic"
The NARAL press release announcing Keenan's appointment as president depicts her as a hero and lauds the "strength of her personal leadership when she stood up to a public effort to excommunicate her from the Catholic Church."

That is not, however, how the diocesan Chancellor remembers it. LifeSiteNews.com spoke with Fr. John Robertson, Chancellor of Keenan's home diocese of Helena, Montana.

"Our bishop had a discussion with her with regard to taking a more pro-life stance," said Robertson. Fr. Robertson denied that there had been any question of excommunication...Fr. Robertson said, "I understood that (Keenan) had withdrawn herself from the practice of the Catholic Faith."
As more and more professed "Catholics" assume roles and positions which are clearly at odds with the Church, it seems most disgraceful for ecclesiastical authorities to refrain from doing anything to stop the spreading scandal.

If she has formally defected from the faith, let it be proclaimed as such. This would certainly put to rest any lingering questions as to her claim of Catholicity.

Lifesite article.
