On the other, I can easily foresee that if the Bishops really got vigorous about defending the integrity of the "Catholic Brand" (so to speak), that anti-Catholic bigots across the country would be frothing at the mouth about "foreign potentates" in "Rome" presuming to "dictate" policy to the all-holy United States, and about "papists" being mindless robots following their "traditions of men". I can further foresee that some of these rabid jackasses would vent their collective spleen on this very forum.
Something to think about.
Isn’t it about time that we, as a collective whole, stop worrying about what opponents MIGHT think , do or say - and really do what our principles tell us is right?
Just saying.
