I was always under the impression it was for people who'd sinned to the extent that the church no longer found it acceptable for them to be present. Fear sounds less like a sin and more like one of those things that the Church would work towards "fixing".

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
