Abuse-hoax Engenders Double Standard Against the Bishops

Edit:  Father Z has this to say about how the abuse-hoax is being handled.  Those attacking the Church expect the Bishop to be in charge of every aspect of the priest's life, while often, the same people decry Bishops who do just that.  It's a double standard only we've been noticing, until today.  Father Z writes:

Liberals and secularists rail against bishops who are too restrictive or who are perceived to be too controlling.  If a bishop actually seeks to govern, they accuse him of being authoritarian, mean-spirited, backward.  On the other hand, they think that bishops can and ought to control every possible aspect of the lives of priests and want to hold them liable for every thing a priest does… unless, of course, the priest is a good and faithful priest, sticking to the Church’s teachings and sound practices.
