You missed the point. The bishops may be wrong the priests may be wrong and should be punished But the teachings of the Catholic Church ARE NOT WRONG! There have been instances in Church history where all the Bishops have been in schism except Rome. The Church Survived. The bishops and priest are still men and still make mistakes and if need be be punished by civil authorities so be it and they will ultimately face Christ. People use priest and bishops as excuse to leave the Church all the time. They challenge teachings up the Catholic church that they have a no right to challenge. This in most situations is a result of poor catechizes of the individual

OK

Let me ask you something, because apparently you missed my point too. Priests, Bishops, Priests, Bishops... but what about us? The faithful?... if we see that the church is making mistakes... Or have made mistakes and they don't address head on to fix them... Don't you think we have a duty to SPEAK UP? etc.

This is like giving up American citizenship because its leaders are corrupt.
