What is sad is that so few bishops appear to be real leaders of their respective dioceses, hand-wringing about whether they may offend someone by preaching the Gospel. I really think this is a major force behind why we have so few young American men wanting to become priests. Young men want to sacrifice, give of themselves for a cause. They see "corporate America" being expressed by men wearing funny hats, instead. I think the Pope needs to send a strong message to our bishops here in the US and remind them WHO THEY ARE!

Amen and right on!
But he made a statement. I am looking for it.
