Yes, that and the effect on society as a whole. Maybe some members engage in pagan relics, but if this is tolerated whole families may come to know Christ. Where vigorous attempts to stomp out such practices woudl lead people to take their families out of the Church's influence.

I don't see that as better.

Doctrine is either pure and unalderated or it is subject to "toleration" of heretical beliefs and practices.

You can't have it all ways.

Doctrine is pure and unadulterated. Discipline is lacking. Our Church is a Church for sinners, not perfect people.
