Maybe it's time to bypass the Bishops' Conference and start contacting the Papal Nuncio and Pope Francis directly. The USCCB and its staff are middle-management in the universal church. We know that those of us who are concerned about these types of shenanigans by the USCCB and its staff have a more friendly and receptive audience above the USCCB. It's time to start contacting them and letting them know about the problems in the USCCB.
