We don’t use stoning any more. In fact, the US last that I heard does not punish for being outside the Catholic Church at all.

When did the Catholic church stop that?

Because the US is based on Protestantism instead of Catholicism. People are not punished in the US for being outside the Catholic church because this is the US and not the Catholic church. Based on RCC history, it the Catholic church had its way, we would be.
