In practice, it is meaningless. But it does exist.

Thank you for honestly answering. So, any heresy will basically be tolerated.

You are making a lot of unfounded assumptions.

One: that excommunication is the remedy for heresy in all cases.

Under JPII and BXVI, a number of professors/authors were stripped of their “mandate” to teach Catholic theology. Charles Curran, Hans Kung, and Leonardo Boff were the most famous.

Two: that when I said “it is meaningless,” I was saying that nothing would ever be done about heresy.

What I was saying is that an “automatic” penalty of any kind is meaningless. Nobody applies it or announces it, and nobody is ever actually required to acknowledge its existence.

At the moment, those making war on Western Civilization—the Jihadists allied with the Globalists—have their man in the papacy. He called Emma Bonino—an abortionist who has killed 10,000 babies—”one of Italy’s forgotten heroines.” And of course, he assiduously denies that Islam is violent.
