I’m not even asking or expecting the bishops to call for people power.

what i want from them is to acknowledge what is right in front of their noses– that since 2001, this administration has corrupted the system and acted like a criminal enterprise, and that it’s time for her to resign.

But they couldn’t even do that.

The problem is that some of these bishops are too ambiguous, hence the confusion. And some Catholics do look to their priests for guidance. Knowing the power structure of the Catholic church, I would not be surprised if priests and nuns would be given a quiet reprimand soon.

I too was confused, didn’t understand what they meant by a new brand of people power.

But what you say, “Maybe what he meant is that people should no longer look at these bishops for guidance.” makes sense.

Perhaps, the bishops have thrown in the towel and don’t want to go strutting on a people power stage anymore. Besides they know that they too are not quite united.
