I’m no great fan of the current Pope myself. I have been turned off by his many misguided comments on economic policy.

Popes' have no particular guarantee to understand economics. I pay no attention to what clerics say about such non-ecclesial concerns.

But if I decided to excommunicate everyone in the Church who disagreed with my views, I think I would be the only one left in the Church.

Ouch! That seems to say something. I think I would have to stop and consider for a moment if I thought that were true about myself.

You’re reading too much into that. Point is that there is always plenty of room for disagreement. No two people think the same way on everything. Should a person be excommunicated from any Church if he does not agree with 100% of some of the teachings?
