I am a bit confused. What good will writing to the USCCB do?? A Bishop in Nebraska (or anywhere else) is not subject to them, from what I read. If I recall correctly, each Bishop can basicly run his Diocese as he sees fit. The only earthly personage he truly answers to is the Pope (not sure if "Pope" includes the Pope's administrative organization within the Vatican, or not). My impression was that compliance with an organization like the USCCB was sort-of voluntary. There is nothing the USCCB can do (directly, anway) to compell a Bishop should he decide not to "obey".
