it's inaction supplemented by an intent to harm. I am assuming, of course, that the church would not excommunicate someone who refrained to act out of fear, panic, etc... If that's not the case, then never mind and I'll stop splitting hairs

There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well.

Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore".

Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion.

Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing
