Why Do I Often Write Against Catholicism?

UPDATED: The Catholic Church had another bigotry eruption today as Belgian Archbishop basically made the statement that AIDS is God's punishment to gays. The Mirror has these details:
*
The head of Belgium's Catholic church is under fire for saying gay men deserve Aids and paedophile priests should not be punished. Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard - who is close to the Pope - is facing legal action from a gay rights lawyer for saying HIV is "justice" for the "travesty" of homosexuality. Leonard's own spokesman has quit over the remarks.

I often get asked why I write about the Catholic Church so often and in such a negative light. Blogger friend Zack Ford recently got asked the same question and his response? Because the Catholic Church makes him do so. How so? In my view by its constant anti-gay agenda, by its constant hypocrisy, by its contsant anti-knowledge stances, and, of course, by its corruption and constant efforts to cover up its criminal conduct in the world wide sex abuse scandal. I have two search agents on Google. One sends me articles on the Catholic Church and sex abuse. The other sends me articles on the Catholic Church and gay issues. Virtually everyday there is nastiness and batshitery to write about. If the Catholic Church and members of the Catholic laity want less bad commentary, then its simple. Stop the anti-gay activities of the Church and the Knights of Columbus and clean house of the corrupt and morally bankrupt Church hierarchy. And stop the Church's efforts to deprive me and others in the LGBT community of CIVIL LAW rights. Since I see no movement on any of these fronts, it seems I will continue to be writing about the Church's sins often for a long time to come. Here are highlights from Zack's answer to this question:
*
After my post last week about the lie-ridden Catholic propaganda being distributed to young people, an acquaintance of mine inquired as to why I feel the need to write anti-Catholic posts so often. Among the comments he made on my Facebook profile were: Could you go a week without bashing -- just let us be who we are?

Well, I could, except that that is exactly what Catholicism does not do for gay people. It’s amazing how often leaders of the Catholic Church (or its messaging) glibly rail on gay people. (These are the same folks whose salaries are paid by your tithing, by the way.)
*
I don’t know if you’ve noticed what the cultural environment is like for gay people right now, but we’ve finally been hearing about the many suicides committed by people who are persecuted for being perceived as gay. Where do all those bullies get their message?
*
The Catholic Church is a big source. Take a look at this Catholic Action insight from Cardinal-Designate Raymond L. Burke (hat tip Joe Jervis). You’ll note that commenting on the video has been disabled. Opponents of the gay community thinks this gives their message more power because there is no room for dissent; I think it just shows how insecure they are.



Did you catch that? First he said: There is a discrimination which is perfectly just and good and namely that’s the discrimination between what is right and what is wrong. Then, he goes onto say that “people with same-sex attractions” are people who “suffer” and that this attraction is “not right” that they should “correct in themselves” this attraction. So discrimination between right and wrong is okay. People who are gay are not right. Thus, it’s okay to discriminate against gays. See how obvious the message is?
*
Now, to all you folks out there who say, “Those are just beliefs,” you’re wrong. They are fallacies and they are incredibly hurtful. They’re not just different point of view; they are, in fact, wrong.
*
So yes, every time religious organizations try to use their beliefs to perpetuate discrimination against gay people, I’m going to call it out and hold the religious organization accountable for the harm it propagates.
*
Maybe if Catholic Church leaders stopped demonizing us and spreading the message that we’re sinners and in great need of help I wouldn’t have to keep writing about how archaic and dangerous it is.
