Catechesis: Power of Bishops

It is not our intention to take oversight away from the bishops. We only ask this one thing, that they allow the Gospel to be taught purely, and that they relax a few observances that they claim it is sinful to change. If they will not give anything up, it is for them to decide how they will give an account to God for causing schism by their stubbornness.—AC XXVIII:77, 78
