[Mr Rogers]

“Thus, what non criminal recourse did the Church have? Order a canonical trial for one about to die or perhaps urinate on his grave?”

Why not?

“The Council of Constance declared Wycliffe (on 4 May 1415) a stiff-necked heretic and under the ban of the Church. It was decreed that his books be burned and his remains be exhumed. The exhumation was carried out in 1428 when, at the command of Pope Martin V, his remains were dug up, burned, and the ashes cast into the River Swift, which flows through Lutterworth.”

The problem is that the heretics were not snuffed out by this 1415 Council of Constance but continue to extol their Satanic message, perhaps through reincarnation, in their offerings. To invoke the 15th Century council is good for a laugh.

I know, we should either get the Exorcist to cast out the demons and/or establish a scholarship fund to educate the unenlightened who argue from conjecture, bereft of objective facts.
