Some things are without question, divorced and remarried couples and folks like Grey Davis who loudly proclaim their unholy allegience to abortion as examples.

In the case of divorced and remarried couples, unless they are in a place where they are known, there is no way for the priest to tell. That is a matter of conscience.

In the case of politicians, we all know what we would do if it were us and we are disappointed that the bishops do not publicly make hay over it, but it is still a matter of conscience. And in all charity, as Christ taught us to be with sinners, it is not our place to judge.

Personally, I think it would do these politicians a lot of good to be publicly rebuked this way, but it's not my decision to make. And I am certainly not going to leave the church over it.
