[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— Why would a church exclude someone when Jesus Himself loved all -—

What does love mean?

Desiring the highest and best for another. That excludes confirming them in their sin.

[C. Edmund Wright]

you people have to construct false choices to back up your pharisaical spirit. NO ONE HERE is saying confirm anyone in their sin. The example given was clearly a repentant person.
