God is cleaning both the leadership in the Church and Government. There is an inertia here that no man can stop no matter how titanic the efforts are to stop it. There are no exceptions because God will drive the issue.
I thought the same thing, but didn't put it into my initial comment. It is an unavoidable test for the Bishops from God. God is forcing them to take a stand - be true Shepards and take a stand which will cause you to be alienated and persecuted by most of society, government and media of our corrupt age, or be ready to be humiliated anyway by them.
