(82,333 posts)"In fact most Catholics are silent on all issues about the problematic things their hierarchy are doing."
That's a mighty broad brush and it's not about an entity, it's about Catholic people.

There are literally thousands of groups with millions of Catholics around the globe who are doing much more than logging onto the internet and calling bishops hateful and bigoted criminals . Those are only the active ones. If they're not "most", that's because half a billion people is a pretty big number. I can't think of any group, including the Chinese Communist Party, that has that many activists.
The only offense I take is to the ignorance of viewing the RCC as a monolithic, uniform entity and then proceeding to beat that caricature. It's the ultimate strawman.
If you want to know what Catholics in the Catholic Church are actually doing, the information is out there.
Maybe you should reconsider your data and separate fact from bias.
