Unfortunately, I have also heard that Rome will tolerate heretics rather than force a schism. Given the extent of the corruption in the US, I do believe this Pope has not been as forceful as he could be. If he tried to excommunicate every heretical priest and bishop at once, there is the chance that they will break off and create an American Catholic Church.
