Abuses are of two sorts. One is from ignorance, the other, from malice! Unfortunately, there are many from the latter!
I remember when I was a kid, quite a few people would not be receiving Communion and would remain kneeling in the pew. I did this myself at Mass up until I went back to Confession a few years ago. One of the reasons that we need EEM's (well, I honestly don't think we need EEM's in most cases) is because Confession has fallen by the wayside and now everyone goes to Communion all the time.
Regardless of the amount of parishioners (generally not that many) there are always two EEM's distributing Holy Communion. My parish is always "advertising" for more. We have two priests in residence and I never understood why the one not celebrating Mass doesn't come over for Communion. That's what they used to do years ago.
OK, here is a problem that I have been wrestling with for over a week. What do we do with this stuff? Do you show your priest? Do you write letters? I mean, I have a lot of "abuses" in my parish, and when do I stop and take a breath and just accept them? I do not want to become like the holier than thou Catholic who notices every little transgression and voices her opinion. I'm afraid I will get lost in the "battle" and lose site of Him. Just how important are these things?
Any advice or pearls of wisdom from any of you are welcome.
