Yeah I get that there are several sects of Christianity, just like any other religion. The Pope has no authority over non-Catholics. That said, you would think that even some Protestants would see this as an affront to the teachings of Jesus and cast out the bad ones in their midst.
You would think, because you are a logical and rational person. But they are not. Jesus exists in their world, purely as a bludgeon to push their own horrible beliefs.
Cast them out how? There is no central organization overseeing all Christian groups. You can literally start your own church tomorrow if you want and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop you, or keep others from associating with you.
It’s not so different from the fediverse. You can ban people, but you can’t stop them from going somewhere else. And if they start their own instance, you can defederate from it but you can’t actually shut them down or stop others from joining them.

Some Protestants would indeed, too bad there are sects of Protestants ranging from Diet Catholic to snake handling faith healers

There is no central authority to make this happen. Any dildo can (and will) open a new church in a strip mall and continue grifting rubes.
