I agree, but having lost a lot of their moral authority on the pedophile priest issue they are reluctant to step forward on other moral issues. This is how the Church has been badly crippled by the pedophile priests. Whatever moral issues the Bishops try to address now they can count on the media screeching " You care about this but where were you when children were being molested?" Good question. But this may explain why the Bishops tend to stay on the Left's Reservation these days, the only place they feel safe.

Excellent analysis.

The pope is disabled.
