Why not just deflock him and call him apostate. The Pope needs to get some balls. Good Grief. Why do Catholics put up with this crap. I just do not understand.
The word is "defrock". Before he became Pope, Joseph Ratzinger was head of the Inquisition, well that was the old name for the organization he headed, it's now the "Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith". Even so, you still don't get that job if you're a wimp.
