I fear that the bishops haven't learned their lesson from the last time they supported major legislation...Universal Healthcare.
Remember how that turned out? HHS regulations which violate our conscience, and increased animosity from government to Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular.
One would think that the bishops are sophisticated enough to know that negotiating with Caesar requires swallowing all manner of distasteful things as part of the "agreement", including the occasional poison pill.
It's like someone who is granted their wish to be rich by a mischievous genie, only to find that they've been incarnated as a drug lord in constant state of fear for their life and their turf.
It would be rather Christ-like to forgive them their trespasses (into our nation), as we forgive those who trespass against us. It would be Godly to deliver them from the evil that dwells in their nation.
Your cartoon is spot-on.

You should use that theme in a cartoon...
Yup, that is what so many clergy are like today, including the church I attend! All into Socialist, I mean Social Justice!
