Friendly Advice to USCCB

Friendly Advice to USCCB from MSW.  My response (from MGB): The problem is that bishops effectively are Lords of the Manor, when that system of government is mostly out of style for the reason that it does not work.  The USCCB's bureaurcatic problem is that it hires true believers rather than folks who will give them the bad news.  Of course, that traces back to not wanting to hear the bad news in the first place. You can't hear it if you think you are always right.  There is no cure for invincible hubris.  That, of course, comes back to how they are selected.  The Church won't break if we change that.  It might if we don't.  Since the Lord promised that it would never break, I expect change because I have faith in the Lord (not in the hierarchy).
