Well you know what? People are so stupid and incapable of thinking that one needs to tell people who are swimming in the ocean that it is salty. They would probably never know otherwise, and it is the bishops job to tell them.
Instead of dismissing the proper acts of the bishop as "normal" and "what he shoyld be doing anyways," we should be congratulating/commending him for doing the right thing. How many of them are? As far as I can tell, no bishop from Texas has had guts to make such a decree. Though, admittedly, I dont and can not keep up with them all and know everything they say...
