Could you tell me why the Catholic Church tolerates pro-choice, pro-death, pro-killing people to remain Catholics in good standing and even teach at their universities...if the magisterium’s pronouncements have any “force” in Catholicism.

The church does not pretend to know people's hearts, and practices Cannon Law. The church can apply Cannon law to those within the jurisdiction of the church (priests), it isn't a one-step process.
The Catechism makes clear God's laws but does not dictate God's mercy.
Therefore, it is impossible for the church to take immediate actions against those who offend God. That is up to God.
ccc2272 The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society." "Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. ‘A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,’ [CIC, can. 1398] ‘by the very commission of the offense,’ [CIC, can. 1314] and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. [Cf. CIC, cann. 1323-1324] The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy.
