1) We say something outrageous which undermines or at least questions Catholic dogma or discipline.
2) Some folks who take their faith seriously, get mad.
3)We then point a finger and say "angry, joyless, sour-faced Christians" (see The Little Book of Insults")
4) We then proclaim that Christians must always be joful and claim victory.
Rinse and repeat.
4a) Censor and banish the sour-pusses.
