I agree: was probably a bit too caustic in my words. The fact that the church even CAN have a small handful of "expatriated bishops" running around is troubling to me. 

As to the children, I've no idea if this guy fathered a kid (just extrapolating on his "excuse"), but like you, I wonder how many woman with children fathered by priests are out there. If a priest or bishop fathers a child, I think they should do the honorable thing: quit their job and support that woman and child.  In particular, for bishops I think Canon Law should  require it automatically as leaders of the church.  I suspect most of these kids and their motors are in an unnecessary poverty (be it monetary or other).  Every day of the cleric's life is an act of profound selfishness if he's not left, and taking full care of the woman and her child.  That those who try to teach others about morality, ethics and spirituality can do this just calls into question the whole system they support.
