That would be an offense against Christian charity and would make it more difficult for these sinners to repent and return to God.

But it causes grave scandal for them to reject publicly tenants of the faith with no consequences.

Jesus called it like it was. Christian charity is one thing telling a sinner the facts is another. Jesus didn't sugar coat the pill when it came to sin and especially hypocrisy.

“That would be an offense against Christian charity and would make it more difficult for these sinners to repent and return to God.”
The Good Shepherd sometimes has to use his “rod and staff.”
The Bidens, Kennedys, Pelosis, et al., have placed politics above conscience. It would be most merciful to point out the consequences of their cynical choices and give them an opportunity to change. Denying them communion would get their attention.

Are you suggesting it should be easy to repent of open, grave and oft-repeated sin?
