While it might be easy to recognize a "bad" bishop is there something more than the two tests you mention (pro-life and pro-marriage) that defines a "good" bishop?
I'm wondering what other criteria has been applied to generatie this list.
I know my list of the heterodox or bad bishops is right on. In the process of trying to figure oout just how bad the shape of the Church in the U.S. was,I noticed some Bishops,who just seemed to be Catholic so I started tracking them,I looked at the number of priests,the seminaries they used,increase or decrease in percentages of Catholics in their diocese. I had a pretty good idea aboout some of them because in watching for the bad ones,I would also run across some that seemed to be very much in union with the Pope and Magisterium,so I started ticking them too. Of course I put all the info somewhere and am still looking for it but since I can't link and have a hard time typing,I don't know what good it would do. I believe that I am a little concerned about four that were on my second grade of good list (Buchlein,Levada,O'Malley,Dolan))but I am willing to bet that three out of the four are going to turn out just fine. Again,the bad ones are bad,guaranteed. They are little(c) catholics;progressive,marxist,leftist,homosexual or homosexual sympathizers.
I agree, a good Bishop should be defined with much more than whether or not he is pro life. Being pro life is about the same as an employee showing up on time for his job. After than it's how well he does the job. At the very least, a Bishop should be pro life, it's all the other things that make a good Bishop.
Essentially what we are discussing is a Dumbed down job description.
