I am not sure what the Catholic Church is thinking. "If we kick out all the people who want to be Catholic but aren't totally committed to policies we made up piecemeal over the centuries (but we won't actually tell you about all the times we've changed our minds about stuff, mind), maybe everyone else will be inspired and come back all reformed!" doesn't sound like it would convince anyone. I mean, talk about alienating your user base.
