Oh, he would undoubtedly pass a lie detector test on his beliefs, since I am certain he truly believes them.

The problem I have is that it doesn't occur to him to ask, "Might I and my fellow bishops be doing anything wrong?" Bishops call for "freedom of religion", which amounts to the "right" to deny employees contraceptive coverage in health insurance policies and the "right" to discriminate against gays. The bishops preach the equality of men and women, but do not practice it. Unmarried men hold synods on marriage and the family where no married people are in attendance or have any input. Personal morality seems to begin and end with sexual morality -- although, to bishops, being a priest who preys on children is acceptable, not do they take any responsibility. Gay civil marriage is a threat to marriage in general, when any married person can see no affect on his or her marriage. People see that and ask "who are they trying to kid" and worse "do these people live in the real world?"
