But because every bishop is independently in charge of his diocese, the guidelines were just voluntary, and "not everyone got in line," says Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the group.
In April, Gregory visited the pope seeking permission for the American bishops to establish their own protocol under canon law, the rules that govern the church worldwide, so that there would be uniform policies across the country.
