The answer seems obvious to me. Because here our bishops are not loved. They are complete strangers to the vast majority of their faithful.
I think it should be an urgent task for our bishops to try to reverse that absolute detachment from their faithful, who for the most part do not even know the name of their bishop despite it being mentioned in every Mass.
