Each bishop individually is vested with a certain authority in the Catholic church, but that vesting doesn’t apply to the organization called USCCB. I do not hide my bias as a fundie, not a Catholic, but I think it would make more sense for concerned bishops to band together independently of the USCCB. The USCCB has embraced left leaning positions that are simply not shared by serious bishops. In its modern condition, it’s more of a handicap than a help to the bishops.
I was right, we were talking past each other. Each Bishop is responsible for administering their own Diocese. Since the HHS Mandate impacts each of them, it is better that they band together. Banding outside the USCCB doesn’t seem to make any sense.

Who are the serious Bishops and are any of them in the USCCB?
