I try to keep book on them. Three of them are bishops and Gumbleton is an auxiliary. I can't keep track of the 50 or so auxiliary bishops but I suspect many of them are really awful.

However,the diocesan B/bishops number approximately 192. Of those about 25,including the above named are bad. They are counterbalanced by about 30 that are very good to excellent. The other 110,or so,are the great mushy middle. Some may be excellent,I just don't know for sure yet.What I do know is that the situation is much impproved and improving.

When John Paul II became Pope,he probably had less than 10 that were good Catholic Bishops,and he quite possibly had no idea who those 10 were. Every night,when I say my prayers,I thank God that I am not the Pope.
