There are saints who did and said horrible things.
St Jerome and St Ambrose wrote misogynistic shit about how celibacy is morally superior, leading to much misery for both priests and women.

St Junípero Serra forcibly converted native Americans as well as making them live in missions where disease was rampant, enslaving them.
And so on.
