Funny but the entire section was not quoted! (My emphasis)

Can. 831 §1. Except for a just and reasonable cause, the Christian faithful are not to write anything for newspapers, magazines, or periodicals which are accustomed to attack openly the Catholic religion or good morals; clerics and members of religious institutes, however, are to do so only with the permission of the local ordinary.

§2. It is for the conference of bishops to establish norms concerning the requirements for clerics and members of religious institutes to take part on radio or television in dealing with questions of Catholic doctrine or morals.

Can. 832 Members of religious institutes also need permission of their major superior according to the norm of the constitutions in order to publish writings dealing with questions of religion or morals.

And there’s the part where none of it, strictly speaking, applies to FR. But let’s not quibble.

Canon law: I often forget about it.

I happen to agree with the ones you posted. They make sense.

If a Catholic, lay or cleric, goes against these Canon laws, WHY does that person still consider him/herself a Catholic? As Catholics shouldn't we believe the whole package, NOT simply the ones we LIKE?

The world is full of people who are Laodicean about their faith and morals. Our faith doesn't work that way!

The righteous laity need to rise up and insist on another Canon...the right to rise up and immediately put out of the church any of the leadership who have defamed Christianity by behavior, expressed political thought, or heretical discourse as proscribed by the scriptures, those scriptures as collected declared as Holy by the early church fathers. These canon you cite use “collective” language but God will judge each soul individually, not collectively.

Each stone in Solomon’s temple was fitted without the use of cutting instruments...each stone was unique, there was no collective uniformity. There’ll be no “blaming the leadership” on the count of individual Catholics who fail to work against the evil in their leadership. You Catholic folks want to “call” those of us who are not Catholic...home...when your Home is in a shambles.
