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.

Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion.
