Interesting - if a Catholic has some "wayward" beliefs, crush that Catholic.
The Bible tells us to be firm but loving in the way we try to bring others around to God's will.
you said: “...if a Catholic has some “wayward” beliefs, crush that Catholic.”
interesting word you used: ‘crush’ but may be exactly what the wayward Catholic needs:
“...But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed...” Isaiah 53:5
if Christ was crushed for OUR iniquities, why shouldn’t a wayward, off-the-reservation Catholic not be crushed (metaphorically in the polls) for their iniquity?
