No, Bishops on the same color cannot force a checkmate. I failed to mention this, but it is almost universal that piling up power on one color doesn't buy you anything as long as you don't have any influence on the other color. (Extreme case: King + 32 Bishops that loses to K+B.) So the original problem is validated.
