As he pointed out, the link was not to cast aspersions on creos by association, but to show the imtellectual shallowness of the "guilt by association" arguments used by the creos to decry evolution. In that regard, I believe the link worked admirably.

BTW, not all Catholics act alike or think alike. We are not some monolithic group mind marching lock step. The Catholic Church has hosted individuals with as diverse ideaologies as Torquemada and St. Francis, exhibiting a range of piety from the de Medicis to John Paul II. The only difference between Catholics and Protestants with regard to this is that when we have disagreements over something we don't run off and found a new denomination.

We know that favorite Ciceronian rhetorical gambit the 'I am not going to say that Verres was a motherless bastard, even though he was because it has nothing to do with this...'. All Patrick does is try to paint all opponents with the brush of the few who do wrong. You are not fooling anyone about Patrick's intentions or of your atheism.
