Um ... no. You said 3 reasons the RCC is wrong is pelosi, biden, and one other ... can’t remember the name ... as if blaming the Church for the actions of the 3. My response to was in no way a defense of them but of the Church. You can not fault the Church for the actions of some of their members. People are sinners ... no matter what religion they are ... unless their religion teaches that sinful behavior. The RCC has not taught them to behave the way they do. They blatantly ignore Church teachings and are in error. Period. That is not a defense of them ... no matter how you try to twist it.

You CAN fault the church for not taking action in such circumstances.

I know of three separate Evangelical churches where people have been removed from the membership rolls for impropriety.

In two different churches it was for adultery.

In the third church it was for embezzlement at the job.

When the immoral behavior was discovered and not repented of when confronted, the people were removed PUBLICLY in the local assembly, BY THE LEADERSHIP. In the one church the timing occurred so that it was done at the annual business meeting. In another they held a special meeting for it after the morning service.

There's simply no reason why the Catholic church cannot do the same.
