Your inconsistencies abound. Your initial complaint was that the Bishops actually dared to participate in the political dialog. You further framed the argument such that their interests were more for selfengrandizment than for humanitarian or a “do unto others” motivation. Lastly, if you are so blinded by your biases that you cannot see or appreciate the good that the Church has done and will continue to do then I pity you and will pray for you.

Well, no, since my initial complain was specifically articulating the aggrandisement argument (i.e. it wasn't just that "the Bishops actually dared to participate in the political dialog"), my position is completely consistent. You have committed two fallacies: 1) you made a straw man argument and 2) you committed a category error. I think you seriously need to take a class in formal logic.

Lastly, if you are so blinded by your biases that you cannot see or appreciate the good that the Church has done and will continue to do then I pity you and will pray for you.

Which has zilch to do with what I actually said. Please confine your martyr complex to dealing with what's actually said, not what you wish had been said so that you could complain about it.
