"Birth Control, Bishops and Religious Authority"
[Gary Gutting, a philosopher at Notre Dame, has this to say in the online edition of the New York Times:]
But, even so, haven’t the members of the Catholic Church recognized their bishops as having full and sole authority to determine the teachings of the Church? By no means.
Most Catholics — meaning, to be more precise, people who were raised Catholic or converted as adults and continue to take church teachings and practices seriously — now reserve the right to reject doctrines insisted on by their bishops and to interpret in their own way the doctrines that they do accept.
