"They didn't use insulting and demeaning language towards their fellow hierarchs."

Quite simply, Betty, you are wrong. They used such language constantly. However, there was a big difference in the WAY that they used such language. Francis uses it in order to bring about reform. Benny used it to deflect attention from his own 'sins' and pass the blame onto others.

In 2010, Benny sent a letter to the Catholics of Ireland to be read at all Masses (pretty public, dontcha think?) In that letter, he accused the Irish Hierarchy of "betraying" the people of Ireland. He accused the hierarchy of giving an "inadequate response" to abuse. (Cover up.)

This attack on the Irish hierarchy would have been well deserved until you go back to 1997 to discover that it was Ratzinger himself who had ORDERED the Irish hierarchy to report cases of abuse to him personally and FORBIDDEN them to report these abuses to the police.

You don't like Francis. Fine. But please stop rewriting history.
