You’re reading too much into that. Point is that there is always plenty of room for disagreement. No two people think the same way on everything. Should a person be excommunicated from any Church if he does not agree with 100% of some of the teachings?

I am sure you are right about that. On both counts.

That's an interesting consideration. I honestly don't know, but perhaps it depends on what one means by "teaching" and how crucial or central that teaching is? We are all sinners and we all, I have no doubt, misunderstand or get some things wrong in our life. How could we not? But, can a person simply reject a defined truth of the faith and still be a Catholic? How far does it go? I worked with a woman who said she was Catholic, and was raised that way, but denied that our Lord was God. I don't think she was any more Catholic than the Dalai Lama, formal excommunication or not. But, does the same hold true for one who rejects the primacy of Peter? Or the Virginity of our Lady? Or the indefectibility of the Church? I couldn't say. Maybe, but maybe not. That is not for me to say, thanks be to God.
