MSW's frustration at the USCCB is both palpable and understandable. The iceberg is looming in the distance and the bishops seem content busying themselves rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I can hardly believe they're still rolling out their ridiculous "fortnight for freedom" nonsense in the face of the threat posed by Mein Drumpf. Fretting over the supposed lack of freedom to simultaneously impose your beliefs on everyone else while still enjoying federal tax exemption seems rather silly when there's every indication that a free press is in serious jeopardy under the new order. If the bishops are this inert now just imagine what they'll be like when Trump is sworn in and really starts putting the kibosh on any negative criticism. I suspect the bishops will be just as supine and therefore just as guilty of complicity as their German counterparts in 1930's Germany. History was not kind to those impotent bishops and it will not be kind to the USCCB.
