She is a baptized Catholic. I agree that the Church has been lenient with such people, and that is because —really—the Church is divided as to what to do about such persons. It is a situation noit unlike that facing the Church in Luthers time. Luther had a powerful protector, the Elector of Saxony, who kept him alive. Today, such people have many friend who are able to prevent formal action by threatening schism.

Thank you for trying to explain.
While I do not belong in or to the Catholic faith, I used to respect their church, much as I did all the rest of them.
I am more than dismayed that the various Christian churches are not standing firm in their spiritual beliefs.
I can’t pray that kind of evil away.
