We don't have time to piddle with twaddle.—Emmett Coyne  “Obey your leaders and defer to them, for they keep watch over you and will have to give an account, that they may fulfill their task with joy and not with sorrow, for that would be of no advantage to you” (Hebrews 13:17).  The Liturgy of the Word is not much help here.  The Church is all of the Faithful, not just current leaders; sometimes the Church needs new leaders to whom to defer.  “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want” (Psalm 23:1) is the only way to pray about local ordinaries not paying health care costs.  “for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things” (Mark 6:34) about how to get along independently, without shepherds.
