No, the bullies are the Catholic hierarchs who say to their employees, "You must live according to our religious beliefs, whether or not you share them". You are demonstrating something that I have believed for some time, that to conservatives, "I believe in the freedom of the individual" carries the rider, "but only when the individual is doing what I approve of". Or, to put that more simply, the conservative says "I do not believe in the freedom of the individual".
