Actually, several bishops come immediately to mind to refute your claim that bishops do not refuse pro-abort politicians communion. The article is about Bishop Coakley of Salina expressing an ultimate intent to deny communion to pro-abort politicians. Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis publicly told John Kerry not to approach for communion in his archdiocese because Kerry was not going to be allowed to receive. The bishop of Colorado Springs (Michael Sheridan?) did likewise. The new bishop of Fort Worth did likewise as a pastor in Southern Illinois before he was elevated to Fort Worth. I feel sure that there are many more whose names I do not have at my fingertips.

Embezzling has been with us for a very long time and with every other church and with most places where money is handled. What does that have to do with this thread?

Most of the pedophiles seem to have been identified and removed. Not perfectly and not without exception. This is an ongoing task. No one has a magic wand and no one can impose a permanent solution other than God Almighty triggering the end of time. Only Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother are without sin. That does not make sin acceptable but merely inevitable in some fashion or other.

A few bishops have warned but they haven't done it. Warning Kerry is not the same as denying communion to those pro-abort politicos in their dioceses which they haven't done.

The pedophiles left have gone to ground. The priesthood is riddled with practicing homosexuals, also.

No one expects the Church to be perfect. We don't expect the bishops to cover up and hide great evils, though, and still remain in office.
