In confidential interviews, Catholic bishops talk about +Gregory

Although most of the mainstream Catholic media has chosen to ignore this, because it does not necessarily speak well of +Francis, it also does not speak well of +Gregory.  

From the article entitled: In confidential interviews, Catholic bishops talk COVID, Joe Biden, Pope Francis

A series of one-on-one interviews with more than two dozen bishops has revealed significant concern among the Church leaders over the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and political tensions.

The interviews, conducted by longtime Catholic commentator Francis X. Maier, show the bishops largely united in concerns about the presidency of Joe Biden, while also combining sincere support for Pope Francis with frustrations over his papacy.

 It continues...

“Most bishops expressed satisfaction with the state of the U.S. bishops’ conference,” Maier wrote in his First Things essay. However, several bishops “voiced irritation with Washington’s Cardinal Wilton Gregory for undercutting conference leadership on the issue of Communion and President Biden’s problematic sacramental status.”

“Worry about the negative spirit and potential damage of the Biden administration was unanimous,” Maier reported.
