Lent With Saint Thomas More

From The Sadness of Christ:

And albeit this similitude of apostles thus sleeping may aptly be applied unto those bishops
which lie carelessly and sleep full sound, while virtue and true religion are like to run to ruin, yet cannot
it well be applied unto them all, at the least wise in every point, since some be there among them, more
by a great many (the more pity, alas, it is) than I would wish there were, which fall in a slumber, not for
sorrow and heaviness as the apostles did, but like a sort of swine wallowing in the mire, lie
ast slugging in the dead sleep of their mischievous blind affections, as men all drowned and drunken
with the pleasant must of the devil, the flesh, and the world.

Here we see Saint Thomas noting how the bishops of his day in England, with the exception of his friend Bishop Fisher, sat on their hands as Henry carried out his religious revolution.  Catholics who depend upon bishops standing for the Faith, will usually be disappointed, unless it is completely safe for the bishops to do so.
