Totally a scandal that the Church doesn’t call these people to account, but rewards them and in that waters down the morals of us all.

No bishop is his right mind would OPENLY berate people for sins. That's not a bishop's job.

Teach, govern, sanctify: http://www.sandhurst.catholic.org.au/index.php/bishop/item/379-the-responsibilities-and-role-of-a-bishop

There's no clause there to call leaders sinners. The bishops teach us to LOVE the sinner and HATE the sin. Don't you agree?

Is that so? Francis, Bishop of Rome, berates his fellow Catholics every week for such sins as "rigidity", " proselytism ", harming his "god", Gaia, and "capitalism" every week.
