“I referring to history when the Church when attempting to admonish nobility gone amiss would put a region under the ban. This would force the citizenry to put pressure on their rulers to come to heel.”

I didn't “miss your point”...you just made a poor attempt at trying to make a “point” and because you obviously don't know how the Church operates; you still are.

Putting a “region under the ban” is ridiculous.
The Church is going to punish an entire Catholic regional population because of the mistakes of a few in the hierarchy.

Stick to what you know and let us Catholics deal with our own problems.

Would any of these CINO politicians get into office if Catholics didn’t vote for them? The voting pattern of far too many Catholics in California put these people in office. I hope this new Pope takes action against the Cardinal as well as priests and their parishioners and politicians that continue to support the culture of death.

It makes no sense for the Vatican to punish or pressure the PEOPLE because of the behavior of the bishops, because the people don’t pick the bishops. The Pope picks the bishops.
