(1) It doesn't matter if it was the opinion of the last forty bishops if he just offering his opinions, which he is.

(2) HIS church? He decides what the diocese will believe? I was sure it was just one diocese, part of the Catholic church as a whole.

“You seem to be babbling nonsensically. Why?”

Because I only write for educated and informed.

You wrote:

It is his opinion, but he is the legislator for his diocese so his opinion can be turned into canon law on a limited basis - so it matters. Also, his opinion is absolutely correct in the objective sense. The NCR is not Catholic. That is objectively true.

“(2) HIS church?”

Yep.

“He decides what the diocese will believe?”

In prudential matters, yep.

“I was sure it was just one diocese, part of the Catholic church as a whole.”

It is. You don’t really know what you’re talking about do you?

“Because I only write for educated and informed.”

But you’ve shown yourself to be neither educated or informed on this matter.
