They can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but they cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
The bishops do not GET the FACT that their moral authority is disappearing by the day.
Sure they came out with a statement or something about health care. Sounded good. But it was pretty much hidden below the radar. Deliberately. 
Similar to sex abuse. Only they verbally come across stronger on that issue. If they weren't getting sued every other minute, I wonder what they would be saying.
But when it comes to abortion, they manage to SCREAM from the rooftops.  So they can be heard when they want to!!!
Simple fact: they don't want to.
They'll mouth some niceties and go back to their daily routine of currying favor with the people who have more rather than the people who need more. 
The Church is falling apart and they just don't get it. The pope pretty much does get it and many of the Bishops say nice things but can barely stand him.
