I don’t think Bishops actually have any control over most so-called Catholic hospitals.

Not true. A nun was just excommunicated here in Phoenix over abortion. http://www.catholicsun.org/2010/may/18/NUN-EXCOMMUNICATED.html

Not really. I said much of the same thing, but really she excommunicated herself. And that excommunication doesn’t show that the bishop has any control over the hospital. And even if Olmstead does have control over one hospital, it doesn’t mean all bishops have control over all Catholic hospitals.
