And does anyone expect a response, much less introspective reflection upon this request to the bishops?  When was the  last time they listened to their priests much less the laity?  The answers are out there, but it falls on deaf ears.  It's exhausting to keep hoping and praying for change, action.  I get further and further from the church as I continue to try and get closer and closer to God.  Frankly, in general, these are not men of good will, men of God.
