As Americans we've always been a unique kind of snowflake. With regards to the Catholic Faith, there is NOTHING that can be changed with regards to moral teachings. Support abortion (even by not doing anything to stop it) that is a sin. Support the death penalty or euthanasia, those are sins as well. etc.
On a side note, people who have been excommunicated CAN be welcomed back into the Church - and all offenses do not warrent excommunication.
Oh, and with regards to American 'Catholic' colleges and universities - to say you are Catholic and basically go against the teachings of the Church doesn't make any sense (I could tell you stories about my religious ed classes at St Norberts!!). If you are going to say you are Catholic then you need to BE Catholic (same with people) . . . .
