Comment from reader:
Maybe the giving of this info to the
press is just an attempt by the protective Curia to isolate the Pope from any suggestion that episcopal dismissals such as that of +Bill Morris might be contrary to due process.
So this article stresses the extremes to relativise less ‘spectacular’ cases

Young drug offenders
From article above, Communion
for the Remarried, by James
Roberts:
As a convert, I have many fond memories of my RCIA class,
but the worst - recalled with horror still - is of a married couple
being told, just before Easter, that they could not be received, because
their circumstances - a divorce history - would not permit it. We had
talked and prayed with them since the previous October. We belonged
together. And they slunk away into the night - a bit like the rich man
turning down Christ's invitation, but not in this case through their own
volition but instead because they had been rejected by the place to which
Christ had brought them.
