Yes, and when the bishop opens his mouth to speak about this matter there will be an avalanche of abuse telling him to return to the sacristy.

Some want the Catholic Church and the bishop in particular to be a ventriloquist’s puppet that moves its lips only when its handler wants it to.

Let the bishop get on with his job while you get on with yours. He is intelligent enough.
