...this stuff is what is known as “prudential” advice from the bishops—meaning just their opinion, which you can take or leave...

LOL will the "leave-er" be accused of being a virulent anti-Catholic for doing so?

No, I wouldn’t say so. In fact, faithful Catholics have often been obliged to ignore or dispute such prudential advice from the bishops.

The problem is that unless Catholics take the trouble to do a little studying of theology, recent papal encyclicals, and orthodox books concerning the turmoil in the post-Vatican 2 church, many parishioners don’t know the difference between “prudential” opinions and obligatory church teachings.
