They're not the church Rome advocates. The Jesus part is only what Rome says to be the Jesus part. But that makes them a grassroot organisation. Excommunicate them as much as you like. They stick with their believes and their values. That's one thing I admire, without sharing their believes, since change can only come from within the system.
It speaks volumes that those persons who I personally admire for their humanitarian values, are also the ones shunned by the system. Such as Helmut Schüller.
