"It might be fun, but...Canon Law also prohibits smacking a priest (or Bishop.) Sorry."

Does canon law prohibit picketing them? (serious question)

How about twisting their arms up behind their shoulders and giving them the bum's rush off Church property? (only half joking)

Picketing (the usual conditions, respectful, etc., etc.) is just fine under Canon law--meets the requirement of "talk first with the offending brother" before going to others with the problem.

PHYSICAL assault including arm twisting, smacking, slapping, or kneecapping a priest is prohibited. Of course, if you are under grave duress, and have lost control of yourself, penalties will be mitigated.
