If the bishops fold on this, it’s going to be hard for me to stay in the Church.

The problem is that their are two Catholic Churches. Their is the church of the parish and bishops. Then there are the holy orders. And the holy orders that I have personally had contact with, Jesuits (educated me), Alexian Brothers (worked for them), Franciscans (personal friends), tend to be made of tougher stuff than the parish priests. I would not be surprised if some of those guys will go underground before they back down. And for the most part they control the universities and hospitals, at least here in Chicago.

My late uncle, a Jesuit, would have been among them. He had already survived a Japanese internment camp, so nothing else in life seemed able to faze him.
