It is Jesus who saves souls---not bishops and cardinals.  And Jesus has already done so.  It is the job of Cardinals and Bishops to allow the Salvific Action and Love of Christ to shine through to their people---not put up barriers to it.  

EDUCATION is an important part of allowing the Action and Love of Christ as well as the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit to come to the people.  We have too many Catholics who think that God delivers the same kind of vengeful punishments as they do.  They are badly in need of information and transformation.  Cardinal Cupich is working hard toward that goal.  May many more follow suit.
