Scripture says in Corinthians that if you have a dispute with a brother or sister that you go to that person(s) and express your concerns and offer them an opportunity to apologize and repent before the Lord for their actions. In some cases this might also include a confession to their superiors or those that may have been affected without even knowing fully where it came from.
If the person receives your words well then you move on and let God deal with the rest.
If they do not receive your words well then you are to go find another brother to take with you and try again.
If after that they still don't hear you or move according to God's word then you go to your church (leaders) and ask for their help.
You want to give every person an opportunity to make good on their sins on their own.
Going to superiors is always a last resort and Christian brothers and sisters are not to sue one another, but instead try to settle their disputes between themselves lest it give Christ a bad name to unbelievers.
Anyway, this isn't my opinion other than my opinion is to follow Scripture. After that its all God. Just do what God says in a situation like this and you will have a clear conscience free of stirring up dissention and grumblings within the church body.

Further proof that hypocracy runs rampant in the church, and Catholics seem to be rather good at it. Report them? When you consider that child molestation by priests was ignored by church officials, then priests drinking the holy wine is a pittance.

If you were offended by it, then tell someone. First though lets look at this together. Drinking by priests is not frowned upon. I went to catholic school up into High school, and i know alot of priests who drank. If you were upset that it was blaspemy,have you thought of the possibility if god has a sense of humor? It to me was in fun,but this is a sensitive topic, and alot of people will be offended. Listen to your heart. Are you offended or understanding?

I think you should leave them to confessing their own sins of stealing, drunkedness and gambeling.
You should also contimplate if your need to report them is a misguided insecurity on your part for being left out, or possibly your guilt for the dog question.

What is wrong with drinking wine? It is not a crime, not in any civilized countries?
