text: Our bishops should reflect on the Catechism of the Catholic Church #896 in their weekly examination of conscience: 
  The Good Shepherd ought to be the model and “form” of the bishop’s pastoral office. Conscious of his own weaknesses, “the bishop …can have compassion for those who are ignorant and erring. He should not refuse to listen to his subjects whose welfare he promotes as of his very own children.” (CCC #896)
