You've known a couple of people, and your experience falls vicitm to the same problem as so many of those studies .. small sample size.
In the early 90s, the bishop of the diocese in which I grew up in mandated that a letter be read from the pulpit at all the parishes that informed us exactly what was going on. Catholics who were paying attention knew what was going on.
Contrast these two statements, you total and complete hypocrite: you know very well what the MAJORITY of Catholic bishops did with the evidence of abuse, yet you trot out a single example of the contrary approach. And that’s ok—completely acceptable use of YOUR experience to bolster what YOU believe in, about the bishops, but I CANNOT use my own experience, to support my opinion, because it’s not “scientific.”
I repeat, a “bigot” by any other euphemistic, “politically correct” term is still a bigot!
