I'm sorry, but this is weasel-wording. The bishops usually do whatever they please on domestic issues within their own dioceses, with little concern for what the Pope thinks. But when a hard and politically unpopular decision needs to be made, they defer to the Pope.

I share your prayer.......but I fear that our “shepherds” no longer see themselves as such, much like our “elected officials”, and are satisfied to revel in self delusion and self service!
