What do we expect of a Bishop?

Do we expect a Bishop to:-

* Speak out against Government moves that are in conflict with the teachings of the  
   Catholic Church

* Enable Catholic Schools to operate without draconian controls (provided that they
   conform, again, to Catholic principles)

* Fully support the Holy Father and to effectively comply with all guidance and  
   authority from Rome

* Refuse to comply with legal requirements regarding adoption of children by   
   homosexual couples

* Refuse to comply with the sex education programme in Catholic Schools as
   implemented by the Government

* Competently manage and support all priests and religious under their control

* Avoid 'Magic Circle' type networking and, instead, be confident and assured in
   managing their own Diocese

* Encourage holiness and piety within their Diocese

* Ensure that prospective seminarians with an orthodox viewpoint are not excluded at  
   interview stage

* Aid and encourage Anglican clergy who wish to convert and become Catholic priests

* Not regard themselves as 'mini Popes' free to do as they please

....................do we expect Bishops to do otherwise; because, if that is the case, does that not strike you as being close to the demonic? "If you are not for me you are against me"
