Catholics must still endure a priest's judgmental tone for absolution.No bias here.

That was my first reaction also, but then I thought, I can't imagine the priest responding to a confession with, "Aww, hell, that's no big deal! Say a few Hail Mary's and you're good to go!" I imagine that a serious tone that invokes a small scale version of The Judgment is actually appropriate.
Of course, YMMV...

I agree. When was the last time any catholic who went to confession would say the priest had a judgmental tone. Complete propaganda hogwash.
