My memory is that Rochester Bishop, Fulton J. Sheen, approved Dad's initiative, simultaneously surprising most Catholics by championing a number of liberal-progressive causes.
In 1967, Bishop Sheen denounced the Vietnam War.
On Sheen's Wikipedia page, check out "Later Years", "Death and Legacy", and the "Cause for Canonization" which was derailed by Rochester's current Bishop Salvatore Matano, a prickly, hidebound -- and seemingly smart -- Catholic, who, in my view, makes the common (heretical) mistake of valuing "righteousness" over goodness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_J._Sheen
Be good - a way of living which includes getting into "good trouble" -- and righteousness will take care of itself.
Virtue is its own reward.
Vice is its own punishment.
