The bishops in Colorado and other places beg to differ. He can only speak for his own diocese on prudential matters like this.
On questions of prudential judgment, rather than on questions of faith, the bishop can only speak for himself. No Catholic is bound to follow that judgment.
He speaks for no one but himself.
I’m Catholic and I say I have a religious exemption. No one can prove me wrong. It has NOTHING to do with what the church says. Only I get to decide my religious exemption.
Let the church condemn be and be damned!
