Just to get your blood boiling a bit, here's a news story from July 2000:
Pro-Abortion "Catholic" Dares Bishops To Excommunicate Her
NEW YORK (CWNews.com/LSN.ca) - Frances Kissling, head of the pro-abortion group Catholics for a Free Choice, has written a column daring bishops or the Pope to excommunicate her.
In her article she says that "since no bishop or pope--and I am reasonably sure that these authorities know who I am and what I believe--has chosen either to pronounce me excommunicated or declare that I have automatically excommunicated myself, I am confident that I remain in good standing with the Church."
Pretending to answer those who argue that she has excommunicated herself, Kissling claims erroneously that only those who procure abortions directly are excommunicated automatically. She eggs on the debate by claiming that her advocacy of abortion does not qualify her for excommunication, but nor does "directing an abortion clinic, as I did some 20 years ago." She mentions also that she slips into "churches around the world, receiving Communion, and saying, Yes, I am Catholic."
Despite her claim that bishops and the Pope probably know who she is, it is not likely that they share her view of her own importance. Furthermore, many Catholics do not consider her or her anti-Catholic group to be Catholic in the first place.
