Andrew Greeley's op-ed in today's Chicago Sun times is here: http://www.suntimes.com/output/greeley/cst-edt-greel16.html
Worth consideration, I think. Especially the part, "I can think of only one way that bishops might earn a hearing for their teaching. While insisting on their convictions, they should refrain from questioning the integrity and good faith of those who disagree."
The cheers and favor bishops gain from the radical right will be drowned out in the continuing erosion of credibility within and outside of the Church. Cardinal Bernardin had it right all along. So did the person who said, "If you want respect, give respect."
