That's absolutely true. They listen to the Bishops only when the Bishops are supporting their own Social Justice brand of Catholicism. If the Bishops start talking pro-life, or sexual sin, these folks simply ignore them.
This may seem beyond the pale, but about a year and a half ago one of the priests at the parish I used to belong to started giving a homily about social justice that threw the guilt and tacked way to the left.
I had enough, and if you know me, you know I speak my mind. I stood up in church during his homily and interrupted him. I told him what he was preaching was communism, anti-Americanism, and treason.
Many in the congregation were shocked, and I got some scattered applause as I marched out of that church never to return, I’ve found another parish now.
But when priests start spewing this crap they need called on it immediately, Whether in the middle of Holy Mass or not.
