US bishops lost about how to engage a culture they don't understand
The bishops in question have no understanding of the perfect humility of God (all 3 persons of the Blessed Trinity). God does not need them to reach us. She (the Holy Spirit, aka Shekinah) encourages us to reach them. The bishops in question have no understanding of either U.S. constitutional law (or pretend not to on TV) or sexual morality. Again, we need to teach them.
They are blind to their own asexuality, thinking it is a sign of holiness rather than simply a deviation from the normal. They have no business teaching the rest of us anything.
What is most troubling is that the bishops seem quite willing to use authoritarian (if not fascist) means to enforce their will. They are at a loss on how much we simply ignore them. Gone are the days when obedience to the Church was a mandate for being a Catholic.
To hold a Eucharistic revival, they need to change how they view the cross. Being empty seems to be the natural state of man. No further emptying is required. God empties Himself to reach us - and he uses Communion to fill that emptiness. No consultant will help them discern this (unless they wish to throw a few hundred thousand my way).
