Robin Williams' Bigotry

I read over the Internet that Robin Williams made anti-Catholic diatribes on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on 6/18/07. He was mocking priests as pedophiles. If he did his homework, he'd discover that only a small percentage of priests are guilty of this crime. Furthermore, majority of the offenders are not true pederasts but were actively practicing homosexuals instead. But Robin didn't have the guts to point this out. Was he afraid of the homosexual backlash if he did point this out? Isaiah Washington gets into trouble for lashing out at one gay person in private, but Robin suffers no consequence for lashing out against all priests in public. Furthermore, Robin insinuated that the problem lies with celibacy. If he did some research, he'll discover that Protestants and Jews, who have a married clergy, have the same problems with child molestation committed by their ministers also. Finally, Robin stated that "you can't poke fun at certain religions," but he can make fun of Catholics because at least they "don't blow you up." So is he suggesting that it's OK to denigrate Catholics because they won't resort to violence? I used to like Robin Williams and watch some of his movies. Not anymore. I've lost my respect for him, not as an actor, but as a human being.
