Why doesn’t the Vatican simply excommunicate all the Cafeteria Catholics and the liberation theologists? We would be a smaller, but infinitely stronger faith. Those thrown out can create a new quasi-religious entity named the Charismatic Apostate Catholics of America, or CACA for short.
Because they’d have to excommunicate a lot of their own priests (sorry to say) like the guy that kept telling my mother-in-law that Satan was a story and a fantasy.
