I think it is a bit of a cheek that the Bishops are interfering in politics with their "letter": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31499189
What mandate do the Bishops have?
Constitutionally, the bishops are appointed by the Crown on the advice of the Prime Minister and thus should have a rough approximation to the political mood of the country at the time they were appointed.
However, for the last thirty years or so they have become a self-perpetuating elite, completely out of touch with their congregations and with ordinary people (a Old Etonian Archbishop!).
Have the Bishops and most of the clergy (I am thinking Giles Fraser) set up the idol of multiculturalism and bowed down before it?
