I am Baptist and not very knowledgeable on Roman Catholic polity. But I was wondering....why doesn’t the RC just excommunicate these two and others that violate RC beliefs?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Catholic Church is thoroughly infiltrated with Marxists who worship Karl Marx instead of God.

I know. I am a graduate of Villanova University and a former Catholic. I was and am disgusted! And...There is absolutely no way for the common believing people to reform this church.

You walked away from the Church, so I think you can go ahead and stop being disgusted now.

“There is absolutely no way for the common believing people to reform this church”.

Wait and see.

Every 400 years the Catholic Church renews itself—and we are now seeing the dawn of another era of renewal.

There are many, many “common believing people” in the Catholic Church and it has always been the lay people in each renewal time who have saved the Church. It is from them that a new generation of good priests comes and we begin again.

Only God is changeless—humanity is always in cycles of growth and decline until the Lord comes to gather his Church for all eternity.

So you left. Be assured that someone else has come to pick up your baton. It has always been this way.

Thank God for the fact that it is His Church and He will clean it up. The Paraclete is on the move. Come home, we need you.

Take it easy there... Just for my curiosity, I have two questions... What part of the country are you in? And how long ago was it that you left?

Things are slowly changing... an overarching majority of today's seminarians have no interest in most liberal theology (and certainly no use for Marx).

The liberals and Marxists in the Church have been forced to call retreat, though they will still hold a fair degree of influence for some time.

It is changing. I invite you to consider a second look...
