I read the article and the comments. They sting like a brand. A whole generation of bishops (probably more) allowed this thing to besmirch Christ's Holy Church. They are passing, thank God; how will the next generation do?

It is clear that the Dallas accords were about looking good rather than being good. The U.S. Catholic bishops remind me of the U. S. Congress, which is not subject to most of its own decrees either. It is soooo degrading for the ruling class to have to play by the same rules as the "little people".
