As a Christian, I can honestly say I do not understand these people one iota. They’re like another species.
I, as a Christian, understand perfectly well. These ‘bishops’ aren’t Christians.....want butts in pews....and taxpayer money in the offering plates.
I’m guessing the Bushop received a late night visit by a guy in a suit with a stuffed envelope
Matthew 19
13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people;
14 but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.
As a Catholic, I can tell you that the majority of the US Bishops and Archbishops are a bunch of left wing wimps. To quote the late great Blessed Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:
“WHO IS GOING TO SAVE OUR CHURCH? NOT OUR BISHOPS, NOT OUR PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE. YOU HAVE THE MINDS, THE EYES, THE EARS TO SAVE THE CHURCH. YOUR MISSION IS TO SEE THAT YOUR PRIESTS ACT LIKE PRIESTS, YOUR BISHOPS, LIKE BISHOPS, AND YOUR RELIGIOUS ACT LIKE RELIGIOUS.
