The Bishops ... Again

.
I wrote a while ago about the Bishops: about how I believed that their authority was being usurped in the matter of the CES document on transgenderism and how I believed that they ought to take a stand.

Countercultural Father mentions (in the third part of an important series of posts) here something I had heard earlier in the day: that the offensive-to-many Made in God's Image is about to be reissued, and in a form some of us might think of as (at least more) Catholic.

More importantly: I also hear that a subset of the Bishops has pushed for this and wants to insist not just that the offending document should be reissued, but that the first version should be withdrawn.

Ben's posts are about the problems silence can cause, and I am only picking through a few bits of straw which have blown over the CBCEW's wall of silence; but, in the same way that I sense that a shift is beginning to take place in the wider Church with recent comments by Ouellet and Parolin, perhaps here is a hint that if the CBCEW is to maintain unity ("Unity in Silence": a sad motto) it will have to be built on a more orthodox foundation than we have hitherto been used to.
