I confess, right now, that I have not read your entire piece. I am sure it's good, but I do have a huge problem with the Bishops you interiviewed having to be anonymous. We only get the sense of the 'real man' when the man, the shepherd of the flock, won't be real enough use his real name??? That is very strange. We are to know who are shepherds are and everyone of them should have the courage to let us all know who they are. How can we get behind them and support them, if they're so good, and not know who they are?? This is seriously a tragic mistake for them to not give their names. That is the problem in the American Catholic Church! Too much 'anononymity' - too much hiding and too much covert goings on, even in a authentic Catholic article, we can't know who these 'good' shepherds are?! Maybe I'll get around to reading the whole thing, but right now, it is too perplexing that they had to refuse to let us know who they are or you did not insist. Where are the REAL MEN who don't care what happens to them or their 'position' in the Church or what this horrid pope might do to them?! Bishop Strickland took the hard knocks and he's still got his voice, using it to spread the TRUTH and not hiding in anonymity. *sigh!*
