The American bishops have a profound influence in their communities, in the church, and beyond,” he continued. “What I will say is that although there have been criticisms leveled at me from some of the bishops, there have been a number of bishops who have been extremely generous and supportive even if they don’t agree with me on every issue. So in that sense the American bishops represent a cross-section of opinion just like other groups do.”

Bambi's whole tactic is to make everything seem personal and just a matter of opinion. The Church has doctrine and teachings, and it is the responsibility of the bishops to be the teachers of their flocks and to teach only the truth. It's not a matter of whether they "agree or disagree" with OBAMA, who as usual puts himself first.

But this concept is beyond him. In fact, judging by his rambling, poorly expressed answers (all of which focus on himself), I'd say a lot of things are beyond him.
