You can't be "bigoted" against an organization. It's also not bigotry to oppose the Republican Party, Democratic Party, Southern Baptist Convention, NARAL, the NRA, etc.

So you're going to excuse the poster writing "main contributions"?  It's pretty evident that the poster's opinions extend beyond the Church itself.  Point #1 is evidence of that, as the poster portrays pro-life Catholics, who cite faith as their reasons for opposing abortions, as purposefully making women suffer.  Point #3 claims that the Catholic Church and, therefore, Catholics actively seek to establish schools that promote racism, a gross and disgusting claim to make. 

You can oppose the ideals of an organization, yes (though it's laughable that you included four non-religious or non-ethnic-based organizations up there to make your point), but when you claim that the Roman Catholic Church has only primarily done three terrible things in America, you are, in essence, tying the faith to those who practice it and are accusing all of those who follow the Church of carrying out these things or supporting them (two of which, Points #1 and #3, are not accurate and blatant attempts to call Catholics abusers of women and promoters of racism).

Please do not support absolute trash and bigotry like that post's content and then attempt to defend it by saying "But he was only attacking the institution, not the people!!!"  Furthermore, the fact that you agree with his post in its entirety, that the MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS of the Church are those three points, even if you are only referring to the Church, is certainly telling.

BRTD has always publicly hated Catholics, you see. He has revealed nothing that he didn't first reveal more than a decade ago when hating on every Catholic nation.

Anyway let me just say that even despite its horrendous social conservative I still probably wouldn't have half the problems with Catholicism if it was respecting of peoples' wishes, personal choices and freedom.

Someone doesn't agree with Catholicism and doesn't want to be Catholic anymore? Then they're not Catholic anymore. The Catholic Church wants to believe that means they'll burn in Hell forever? Fine, they have a right to believe that. But that person also has a right to not be in any attached to a label they don't want.

But the government shouldn't be in the buisness of building housing. It's expensive and it blights cities. The only reason houses are expensive is because developers can't build the mlikns of unites of housing the market demands. Liberalize zoning, and every city in the country would have one bedroom apartments at below $1,000 per month. For the few people who can't afford that, we can turn to solutions like tax credits.

The most revealing part is that Blairite thinks everybody should live in a one bedroom flat. I mean, I (and I assume Blairite)) wouldn't because I'm a childless young adult, but has he considered that a lot of people, um, plan to procreate?

Procreation is never part of the plan for these types.

This idea that everyone should live in a few huge, cramped, high-density cities is just utter madness anyway.

The basic gist of it is that yuppies, who have a disproportionate impact on this whole mess, think that everyone else wants to live the way yuppies live.

I've just discovered these two posters' entire contributions to the forum distilled into one sentence each within the same quote chain:

it's amazing how the Democratic and Republican bases have become so divided over this incident.

I am grateful for President Trump weighing in on this.

Let’s not ignore who put such poisonous ideas in these children’s heads. After all, would one have found Catholic boys saying these things a hundred years? Perish the thought! But the liberals’ cherished sexual revolution has infected these children’s minds (as it has infected so much else in our once great civilization), and now those same liberals have the arrogance to blame these boys for being victims of social decay. Sad! What else can one say?

"Economic anxiety" is a long dead horse, was basically a strawman in the first place (virtually all unironic use of it was referring to Obama/Trump voters, not white nationalists or Naso-esque assorted bigots or Steve King's base, it wasn't exactly a very accurate description but had a completely different meaning than those who mocked it) and frankly was a silly thing to keep bashing and beating to death to begin with (OMG, some moron used a stupid phrase in a NY Times article 18 months ago! Who gives a sh!t?)
