No, he essentially showed that the bishops are powerless. The Vatican II doofuses out there cheering him were the populist group he was appealing to (instead of the unions and blacks and his usual lefty groups). He has taken the Church away from the bishops because he gave this talk in blatant opposition to a ruling issued by the USCCB several years ago and in opposition to the immediate statements of the local ordinary of the diocese, Bp D’Arcy, and the Church authorities LET ND GO THROUGH WITH IT.

So tell me how that doesn’t mean he’s in charge now?

That powerlessness is not Obama's doing (rather, errors in the wake of Vat II), and this speech does not transfer any of that power to Obama.
