What sins can a person be excommunicated for besides Abortion?
 
Physically attacking the Pope is one.

Joining the Freemasons used to be another one, but I think that has changed.

Do a web search, these sins are few and should be easy to find.

ICXC NIKA
 
Adding the following:

Excommunication (1983 CIC 1331) is the most severe censure that the Catholic Church can impose on a member of the faithful. This controversial penalty is, however, fundamentally oriented to fostering the reform of the individual (1983 CIC 1312 § 1, n. 2). **I have been saying for some time that excommunication, although neglected in the decades after Vatican II, will be used more frequently in the future. Evidence in support of this prediction is, I suggest, accumulating. **This page will monitor instances of excommunication under the 1983 Code of Canon Law. I would, of course, appreciate information that would help to advance the completeness and accuracy of the materials presented here.

I think the canon laws pertaining to excommunication goes from 1311 - 1399, doesn’t it? So the list goes farther? Let me know.

No. This section is on penalties and offences, not just excommunication.
As far as I know my list is complete. However, if you can tell me what I have missed out from my list I’m happy to discuss it.

Yes, I think you’ve listed them but there are somethings that should be considered under offences and punishments for example: special circumstances that might have to be considered - in some cases of excommunication and in others:

Can. 1321 1. No one is punished unless the external violation is gravely imputable by reason of malice or negligence.
2. A penalty established by a law or precept binds the person who has deliberately violated the law or precept, omissions are not punished unless the law specifically provides for it.
§3. Presumption: External violations are imputable unless it is otherwise apparent.
Can. 1322 Those habitually lacking the use of reason are incapable of a delict, even if apparently sane when acting.
Can. 1323 The following aren’t subject to penalty:
1/ one under 17 years;
2/ one ignorant of the law violated;
3/ one acting under force or one who didn’t foresee the result;
4/ one coerced by grave fear unless the act is intrinsically evil or tends to harm souls;
5/ self-defense against an unjust aggressor;

etc…

Vatican clarifies excommunication penalty for unauthorized ordinations:

By John Thavis
Catholic News Service

The Vatican clarification said that while unauthorized ordination is always a grave crime against church law, automatic excommunication would not apply in certain circumstances, in particular if the participating bishop acted "out of grave fear, even relatively grave, or out of necessity or out of serious inconvenience.

Such circumstances need to be verified and evaluated for each participant, it said, and in the end “each of them knows in their heart the degree of their personal involvement” and therefore whether the penalty of excommunication applies."

This is a very good commentary to read: A Modern Guide to Indulgences: Rediscovering This Often Misinterpreted Teaching By Edward Peters

To quote the beginning:

"The word indulgence comes from Latin word indulgentia, which means a show of kindness or tenderness. The verbal root is indulgere: to forgive, to be lenient toward or be tender toward. The Catholic theology of indulgences is closely connected with the sacrament of penance, which is why the treatment of indulgences follows that of penance in both the 1983 Code of Canon Law (canons 992-997) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraphs 1471 - 1479). Indulgences likewise are linked to Catholic soteriology, which understands justification as not merely the forgiveness of sins but also “the sanctification and renewal of the interior man.”

The process of sanctification and interior renewal requires not only forgiveness from the guilt (culpa) of sin but also purification from harmful effects or wounds of sin. The call of Christ to “be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48) is ultimately a call for interior purification. Spiritual writers describe this as the mystical path of purgation, illumination, and union with God. This spiritual path has an eschatological dimension, for it culminates in the beatific vision and the communion of saints. this is why Catholics believe in Purgatory or post-mortem purification. People die in the state of grace or friendship with God, but the effects of sin on the soul often remain. Since “nothing unclean” can enter heaven (cf. Revelation 21:27), the souls of the deceased can still carry harmful effects of sin and must, therefore, be purified before entering the fullness of the heavenly kingdom."

Again great article and one to think about.
