How about being blackmailed.
What would you do?
What would governments (local, state, and federal) do if today all the bishops tell us that they are shutting down all their hospitals, schools, charities so they don’t violate their consciences one more day?
I personally as a practicing Catholic would indeed shut them all down this today.
But I am not a bishop nor do I want to be one.

I feel your pain. I’m a Jew. My people are notorious for voting against the interests of Israel.
