Bitter tone? Because I've opposed bishops who've covered for pederasts, and even participated in moving them to new, fertile ground?
I have a bitter tone about this because I don't buy that a man of God is unaware that he hit a human being (there was windshield damage, for heaven's sake, and dogs don't cause windshield damage), and I'm curious as to why he had to be tracked down like a common criminal.
You're dreaming up excuses for the guy.
