However some of them can have generators, and cell phones,
How interesting. Cell phones not hooked to a grid. I can assure you that cell phones are indeed "hooked to a grid". You could not ask for more infrastructure to make a cell phone work. From the fiber optic "grid" feeding the cell towers to the MTSO* back at the central office, to the RF links feeding the actual phone in your pocket, It is all one big "grid". Perhaps the bishops don't understand the technology.
* MTSO = Mobile Telephone Switching Office.
