The bishops don't look into every detail of a liturgical celebration in an event like the L.A. Education Congress, they don't chose who does what during the Mass, like altar servers, lectors, etc. they have people that take care of this, and if this people have an agenda, they can simple manipulate things behind the scene. The bishop would show up to celebrate the liturgy and find himself with things like this and basically being unable to do anything. Not saying the bishop is always without fault, sometimes they do. I know this man since he was a simple, humble priest in Houston. Seriously doubt he "chose" the couples that brought the gifts. Hopefully he did something about it when he found out that this couple that showed up in front of him was a "gay couple" and fired someone in his diocese.
