Yeah. I've heard that quote --- "The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops" --- attributed to two great saints: John Chrysostom and Francis de Sales. (BTW both of them were bishops.) And the who greatest artists in Catholic history, Michelangelo and Dante, both featured bishops burning in hell.

Which is not to say, 'hate your bishops.' As Jesus said of the Pharisees, don't do like they do. And as Mary Ann Kreitzer says, build up your good priests, praise them conspicuously, laud them to the bishop, hold them up in public and in private. And pray for them. Seriously.

The survival of many souls depends on our support of "the good guys."

That will only bring down a sh@tstorm on their heads, if the bishop is a liberal or a homo.
