This Catholic says that except for a few exceptions, and we already know most of those, the rest of the Bishops/Archbishops/Cardinals are a bunch of left wing weenies. Many of them do not even adhere to the doctrines of the Catholic Church. Think Wuerl, think Dolan, think O’Malley, the latter of whom disgraced himself last Sunday on 60 Minutes. They are American versions of German Cardinal Kasper.

Do you think that your characterization of these Church leaders as "a bunch of left wing weenies" might violate Canon 212?:
In accord with the knowledge, competence, and preeminence that they possess, [the laity] have the right and even at times a duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters that pertain to the good of the Church, and they have a right to make their opinion known to the other Christian faithful with due regard for the integrity of faith and morals and reverence toward their pastors, and with consideration for the common good and the dignity of persons.
JPII's thoughts on the matter:
"Unity with the bishop is the essential and indispensable attitude of the faithful Catholic, for one cannot claim to be on the popes side without also standing by the bishops in communion with him. Nor can one claim to be with the bishop without standing by the head of the college."
