Right.
And also: a person can believe what the Church teaches, and still love those individuals, friends or family, who do not adhere to the Church’s teachings, while simultaneously believing that their lives would be better if they did attempt to adhere to religious belief.

Priests do not shun “sinners” (and in fact, are sinners themselves!).
Why should the rest of us, esp. if they are our own flesh and blood?
