No matter how shameful & stupid the behavior of the higher clerics, it absolutely does not justify anti-Catholic bigotry & the mocking of faithful laity.
Sometimes I think I'm the only protestant-by-upbringing, at least around KOS, capable of explaining to non-Catholics what it is that observant Roman Catholics do & why they do it & keep doing it. Not the doctrine, not the theology, but the dailyness of Catholic practice. It's easier to hear it from me than from an offended Roman Catholic.
