Maybe the Bishop will say nothing about the holy communion because they are married.

And I personally know of a case where a very serious complaint made by a person against another was reported to the Police about a year ago but still needs to be heard in court despite the fact that the Tahrika was issued about seven long months ago!
For, following a Bomb Warning at the Law Courts last April, all the cases scheduled to be heard on a particular day were summarily postponed to another date .....in November!
How's that for Court Reform?
