Normally bishops serve. One of the Pope's titles is "Servant of the servants of God". And so it is disconcerting that now lay people have to carry our shepherds, forgive them their sins (in a sense), and bear them as burden. And perhaps that is healthy thing, both in terms of our exercising our strength to forgive and also in the sense of not expecting from them what only God can deliver.
