Your job isn't to fix your parents. Your job is to protect your family. Your wife, your kids AND yourself. THEY are your primary responsibility, not your parents.

I think you feel bad because you "let your guard down" and brought your family into this situation. Now, you want to 'overfix' the problem and let him know that "he can't get away with this anymore".

The fact is that your father isn't HONORING his priesthood. One can commit sins and hide them and still "hold the priesthood". They just won't be USING the priesthood honorably. They won't be entering the temple WORTHILY.

I'm not sure that "tattling" to the Bishop will help anything. It may increase resentment between you and your father. Also, (and this is known to happen at times) that the Bishop may believe him over you - depending on the relationship. Just throwing it out there.

BTW, that was a really WEAK lie that your father told you (Bishop asked him to develop software, etc.). Obviously the porn is affecting his imagination to be creative to tell a more convincing lie.
