So, then the catholic church is a hate group.  I have no problems with labels as long as they are applied equally to anyone who fits the criteria.


We agree 100%.  Sadly, many do not share this level of consistency.  Religious based reasons for hateful activity are no more justifiable than secular ones.

I'd label any Catholic group lobbying for the same things and using the same language a "hate group". 

As far as the religion itself, many have some hateful views. I'm happy to apply them evenly. For some reason, others, as you noted, excuse hate when it is justified as a religious view.
