Obviously, I wasn't talking about a lay organization, nor was I talking about reporting legal practices. You're not going to deny, are you, that there are many parishes which violate canon law on a regular basis? Certain things are certainly expected from each of us; I don't think obedience to the Magisterium is too much to ask from diocesan officials.

Sure, we could just have a beer, sit back and say "the heck with it" and watch as the Church becomes the New Episcopal Church, but I'd rather see something done to stop that, wouldn't you?

I'm not some SSPXer who demands the end of Novus Ordo or something; I'm just really getting concerned about the flagrant disobediance that seems to be running rampant in the U.S. Church right now.

I wouldn't know. I go to one parish, and "canon law" is followed to the letter.

If you have the time to patrol practices in different parishes, make notes, and turn these guys into to the bishop, knock yourself out.

I was a hall monitor in junior high and the job of snitch just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Oh, BTW, nobody in Rome is going to listen to you.
