You're not going to deny, are you, that there are many parishes which violate canon law on a regular basis?

I wouldn't know. I go to one parish, and "canon law" is followed to the letter.

If you have the time to patrol practices in different parishes, make notes, and turn these guys into to the bishop, knock yourself out.

I was a hall monitor in junior high and the job of snitch just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Oh, BTW, nobody in Rome is going to listen to you.

I go to one parish, and "canon law" is mostly obeyed, with some exceptions regarding Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers.

Please stop misrepresenting what I said. I specified "assistant inquisitors," who would quite obviously not be lay people, which would leave me out of it. I already have a job; thank you. Furthermore, I don't think enforcing the teachings of the Church constitutes "snitching."

The things I'm concerned about are the types of things talked about in this article, where diocesan officials are in direct disobedience to the Magisterium on doctrinal issues. I think that's somewhat important. Apparently, you disagree. So be it.

BTW, let me just ask you point blank...do you think practicing homosexuals should be allowed to stay in the priesthood and/or enter the seminaries?
