Why was Queen Elizabeth I excommunicated?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerQueen Elizabeth I of England was never excommunicated for the simple reason that she had never been a Catholic, and thus did not fall under the Pope's jurisdiction, in other words, she had never been in communion to begin with. You may read Pope Pius V's Bull against Elizabeth at the link below. The Holy Father declared her to be a heretic and a favourer of heretics and her adherentsto have incurred the sentence of excommunication and to be cut off from the unity of the Body of Christ.
