No, not all homos or pederasts. Actually only a few. But lots and lots of dissidents and leftists, as one might expect in Massachusetts. Across the spectrum from people who should indeed have been defrocked to those who were just guilty of stuff like ad-libbing in the Mass, promoting girl altar servers before it was permitted, and the like.
As I said, he should have handled it better. But it was more a question of being overwhelmed by problems than evil intention, as was the case with a few other bishops who were far worse.
