Maybe your forgetting that the purpose of the Church is also to guard and fight against Satan and all the power of Hell. Allowing his minions in the Church only helps to undermine it. Excommunication solves that problem, and is a tool that should be used much more often.

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

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
