Wait, now you're in favor of obedience? Sinky, I thought you were all about doing your own thing -- more liberality in the liturgy, priests marrying, doing away with Humanae Vitae. Suddenly now you're all in favor of absolute obedience to the local bishop? I believe the local bishops in Fatima and in Lourdes both denounced the apparitions there as well. And don't forget Juan Diego's bishop. Mary had to send him a couple dozen roses gift wrapped in an image of her in order for him to believe.
The bishop's denial tells me nothing. The bishops in America were denying there was a sex abuse scandal. Bishops can be wrong sometimes.
