No bishop likes to talk about vanity, it cuts too much to the quick. It is why Jesus gave example of the washing of the feet, and not just for annula commemoration. Of course, humility should not be considered a lack of courage and it took courage to ensure all partners, married or not, gay or straight, but it would have shown more to challenge the Church more directly on this. Christ would have. To go with the meal by the sea, sometimes the meal Christ must serve the apostles is crow. Bless the bishops who served up this latest portio for the Church.
