Good.

That means Pope Francis and the rest of the bishops have no credibility when they speak to Catholic social teaching--so I can ignore them.

Next time my bishop issues statements that we have to be open to refugees, we should build bridges, not walls, Catholics cannot support Trump's budget plan or tax plan, racism is a sin, etc, I will tell him that since the Church covered up sex abuse, he lost his credibility to speak to these matters and I will make up my own mind.  I will no longer uncritically accept his teaching on these matters.
