How do you define this idea called “Civil liberty”. It has always been my impression and understanding that this concept of “civil” when combined with liberty is used to turn both the concepts of liberty and freedom on their head by moving from limitless freedom with spesfic exceptions, to only spesfic and enumerated “liberties” under otherwise limitless government.

This is at least what the left mean by the phrase “Civil liberty”. It is as if nether the 9th nor 10th amendment exist in their world.

The question I have for you is what do you mean by the phrase “Civil liberty”?

The same way Webster does.

i see.

why, because anyone who dares question the words and wisdom of Bishops must be a - a leftist?

The question alone suggests woeful confusion on the part of the inquirer.
