Those of us who have been drawn to Christ, alone, do not recognize self-proclaimed "born again" evangelicals as meaning anything. Labels do not matter. Catholics, however, have the endorsement of Rome when their names are added to the rolls of that organization. To wit, Biden, Pelosi, et al. These are the "brothers & sisters" of those who might be voting conservatively.

Yet, there is an incredible disparity among those who wear the label "Roman Catholic". Some of the "priests" even support abortion, yet are not removed from the fellowship and treated as, "a Gentile or unbeliever". Why is there not a uniformity of thought here? Why are these folks then not removed? Evidently Rome honors choice over truth, independence over the Scriptures. This is not done by folks who adhere to the Scriptures.

And Jesus knew what Judas was about all along, yet did not dis-fellowship him.

The Church is full of sinners. We wouldn't need a Savior otherwise.

That said, I would like to see known public dissenter priests and bishops defrocked, but I also know that in the end times there will be a falling away, even among the Church.
