“I have lost faith in is the hierarchy of bishops.”

Join the club. I lost faith in the council of bishops once upon a time like around 1985 when the council built a two million dollar office in Washington, DC. Losers. Why not meet at a local high school gym or a hotel ballroom for annual meetings?

Bishops Today? Spoiled teen agers who are stuck in vice and ruled by fear.

The Bible explains it all and the Lord has seen His ship get stolen by spoiled brats before many times.

And there you have the reasons for the Protestant Reformation in Europe and ongoing religious strife in England over centuries. For example the Puritans and others did not want bishops or a church hierarchy. They wanted an English language bible so they could pray to God directly and not need a Latin spouting intercessor. Some of the first creators of the English bible were executed or persecuted. Must not get rid of your religious bosses.
