“Souls falling into mortal sin could never be the “least” of our problems, especially for the priests and bishops who are entrusted to be shepherds of souls.”
More dangerous the priests, bishops and cardinals that are leading your denomination astray from the top down. Abused your children, protected the abusers, hide away gays in leadership, promote destructive doctrines and policies, etc.
Those who love and seek God are never the problem.
Nor did Christ condemn them. He did have quite a few words for leaders - whitewashed tombs with bones inside - that lead followers astray.
Nevertheless, the solution in every case is repentance, Confession --- THEN Communion.
Communion without repentance is a dangerous delusion: it's another meathook in your soul, dragging you down to destruction. Anyone who had even a bit of love in their heart for a fellow sinner, would try to tell them the truth about this.
