Simply moving one person who you know is a pedophile to another parish is condoning in my mind. And as long as these bishops are taking the Eucharist aren't they receiving God's grace? Isn't the Church still ministering to them God's grace? Why would you wish them to "burn in hell" when the Church is so forgiving?

I don't wish to drag the Catholic Church through the mud simply because of poor leadership in a few parts of the Church. It's no different than Protestants who suffer from these various types of people. But making blanket statements about Protestants in general, simply shows that you have run out of scriptural arguments and instead trying to attack the character of Protestants in general.

Or condemnation (1 Cor 11:27). It depends is the bishop in question has awareness of a sin he committed.

blanket statements about Protestants in general

The statement is that some Protestant groups allow abortion and others allow homosexual practices, as a matter of doctrine. Some don't. It is a fact, -- open any guide of Christian denominations and find out for yourself.
