Guy, the church has procedures for doing these things. They were followed.
You don't have to like the procedures, but that doesn't change the situation.

"Thou didst desire man's free love, that he should follow Thee freely,
enticed and taken captive by Thee. In place of the rigid ancient law, man
must hereafter with free heart decide for himself what is good and what is
evil, having only Thy image before him as his guide."

- Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
