Don’t fall for the tactics of the leftists on this one. Bishops don’t need to conduct a walking plebescite among themselves on this one. The local bishop (D’Arcy), the metropolitan (Cdl. George), the de-facto prelate (Cdl. Dolan), the “king-maker” (Cdl. Rigali), the top American curiate officer (Abp. Burke) and all the key leaders of the USCCB have all spoken out. There are 190 dioceses, by the way.

It’s always nice if other bishops affirm the relevant ones, but it’s not really their place. I guess we got about 60 who are speaking out for the benefit of their congregants who may be students at Notre Dame. But I’ll pardon the bishop of New Ulm if he thinks the issue has been settled by his brothers.

I understand your point, The Church isn't a democracy (nor should it be), but I do believe it would be helpful to actually illustrate the united front and identify anyone who's wobbly.
