Does Pope Benedict XVI have a wife?
The popes are normally chosen from the younger Cardinals, at least this has been common practice of the Catholic Church for the last thousand years or so. All Catholic clergy take a solemn vow of celibacy before they are ordained to the deaconate. The Eastern Rites and the Latin Rite (with regard to permanent deacons) allow married men to be ordained but they still take a vow of celibacy, which means they could not remarry if their wife died, and only celibate clergy are chosen to be Bishops. So, there is no likelihood of a married man being chosen for pope, and no clergy may ever marry, in other words, Pope Benedict has never had a wife.He is a Roman Catholic Priest, and they are not allowed to get married.

Does the Catholic Church excommunicate its clergy members who are pedophiles?
Any clergy who has been convicted of pedophila is automatically laicized (removed from the clergy and barred from presenting himself as Catholic clergy). Excommuncication is something entirely different, a convicted pedophile who was a member of the clergy may or may not be excommunicated depending on other factors.
