You think they should change their religion to avoid association? You think they should reject their own beliefs and conform to another similar institution just because you think being catholic makes you guilty? Being Catholic doesn't mean you support or are a part of the institution, it just means you have this belief.

Think about it, this is the same **** OH would say about Islam yet you'd reject that bigotry while supporting this one. The only difference is that the thing OH scrutinizes Islam for is ACTUALLY in their doctrine.

I don't define all of Christianity by Catholicism.
