Where are the Bishops? Well, it's hard not to imagine them with their heads under the blanket, but who knows? Perhaps they are preparing a courageous defence of the Holy Father and the Church. Or perhaps they know there is worse - much worse - to come.....
Joana,
I think that you pose a valid question.
The silence of the Bishops might be due to censorship on their public comments? Alternatively, there might be reasons such as their awareness of or responsibility for cases in their diocese which have not been dealt with properly?
I don't believe the theories going around of a conspiracy against the Pope. But some people are prepared to discuss it openly, casting "Liberal" Bishops as the scapegoats
I wonder..........
Thank you for the links. Very useful.
