Well, what is that old saying about absolute power corrupts absolutely?

If you listen to what the bishops say and what the polititians say (eyes closed) a lot of times you'd be pretty hard pressed to figure out who was the man of God and who was the man of the people.

Both are men of the people. The problem is that the bishops have been lead rather than led. They are guilty of the American love of success. If the archbishop of Boston had come out strong in favor of reformation, he would have been pilloried. Instead he talked like a conservative but did not challenge the powers that be. If law knows Church history, he knows what happened to St. John Chrysostrom.
