They sure seem to be Catholics in good standing, meeting with their Pope, taking Communion at the Vatican, elaborate and very public, church funerals.

You examples are so correct. These things are very, very painful to see, and does great injury to not only devout Catholics, and beyond that it insults all believers whether Catholic or not, making a terrible witness for the Church.

My only consolation is being reminded that Almighty God knows what is going on, even throughout Bible history and has allowed scandal, for a time, or else it would be evaporated and made perfect.

Only the Eucharist keeps Catholics. John 6 is not a suggestion for the Church, but defines her. To receive Jesus while in a sinful state and without repentance is anathema, as to heap hot coals upon our head—so, there is Justice to be served, but it may not be before our very eyes or while in this world.
