"they are held in some esteem in some quarters, due to the harshness, pro-squatter outlook and anti-Catholicism of the colonial authorities whom they embarrassed and the romanticism of the lawlessness they represented."

Is this supposed to mean due to the harshness of the bush, the pro-squatter outlook of people who hold bushrangers in esteem, and that the colonial authorities were catholic (or anti-catholic)? --Nectarflowed 09:55, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
