I find myself recalling a scene in the movie "Waking Ned Devine" (excellent little indie film).  The villagers are cooperating in a little illegality to secure a big lotto winning.  The visiting priest, taking care of spiritual needs while the permanent priest is away on pilgrimage, is talking to a little boy.  Troubled, he asks if the other priest will be okay with the illegality.  The boy answers very positively that Father will be okay with anything that fills the collection box on Sunday.

I can imagine that being said of too many of our bishops.
