” standing by the bishops in communion with him”
do we stand with the bishops by opposing the bishops?
should we stand with that document ... or with the press releases of this month? is the USCCB standing with the USCCB? Is the USCCB in communion with him?
This Bishop is chairman of the Committee on Migration. He speaks for the committee, not for the Church in the United States. He has no authority outside his own diocese.
The problem is that bishops are opposing bishops. The bishops who uphold the teachings of Christ handed on to us through the Apostles (e.g. various African bishops, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Cardinal Raymond Burke, etc.) have been under attack from those who want to ignore His teachings.
