Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

I'm glad you brought up the church in Corinth. Paul taught that if the CHURCH knew of sin in it's midst, they were to confront the sinner. If the sinner didn't repent, the whole church would confront them. If they still didn't repent, THROW THEM OUT!

Now lets watch and see if anything is done here. My money says NO! It has been this way for a hundred years. IMO, it's why the church is disintegrating before our eyes.

Now I will wait for the obligatory "Catholic basher" flames. Everyone seems more interested in covering up the church's shortcomings than discussing them. The church government won't confront open sin in the pew in fear of running someone off that may tithe. I think Kennedy proved that. I bet Pelosi gives a pretty penny to her Parish.
