bishops who - in the last hundred years - broke with the Vatican's authorities, for one reason or another, and later consecrated bishops of their own.
There are alive to-day many men (and even women) claiming to be priests validly ordained, and/or bishops validly consecrated, by such Roman Catholic bishops (or by the many "independent" bishops who were subsequently consecrated by them).
The last of these four lineages involves the dozen Chinese bishops who in the 1950s, under pressure from the Communists occupying the mainland of China, established a "patriotic" hierarchy supposedly independent of the Pope.

You can infer from these things what I think many bishops are not doing, but do understand that I am aware there are good bishops and bad bishops, and that most of them do at least some part of what I have listed here.
Without most bishops doing the first four most of the time, the constant temptation to suspect that their statements are caused by something other than the Holy Spirit becomes almost impossible to resist.
One infers from such a listing that most people being addressed must not be doing the items presented (just as one infers from the Holy Father reminding both sides in a conflict to protect civilians that both sides must be abusing them).

 American Catholic: Lawyer’s stone campaign takes bishops to task
This spring Ashley Merryman, a writer and lawyer in Culver City, Calif., was upset by a rash of news stories she had seen about Catholic bishops denying Communion to Catholic politicians who support pro-abortion legislation and admonishing Catholics who might consider voting for such candidates.
She didn’t like bishops telling people how to vote; she didn’t like the bishops’ narrow focus on just one or two issues, and she didn’t like being told what to do.
On that list with Chaput is Archbishop John G. Vlazny of Portland, Ore., who has said public dissenters and Catholics who vote solely because a candidate is pro-choice should refrain from Communion.
