More so, he pontificates as if his opinions are the only legitimate ones and he belittles those bishops with whom he disagrees. I affirm his right to do so but I question his charity. The bishops are microcasms of ourselves. They represent the broader church in America. These are the same types, the majority of whom, who voted for Donald Trump. Like the pollsters, MSW got this election wrong as well. More Catholics voted Republican than in any previous presidential election and as a result forced more than 1000 democrats to lose their positions in state and federal offices. The GOP won bigly because of the Catholic voter in the Rust Belt. Our bishops reflect those same people and values. While the Northeast elite, like MSW, thinks that he, Capich, Tobin, know better than the overwhelming majority of us, they too will face their demise. Their brother bishops, as already demonstrated, aren't going to rush forward and beat up Trump or attack the GOP platform like MSW wants them to do so.
