The author of this piece seems to both reject and misrepresent this message. She has also rejected and misrepresented the message that abortion is wrong. She has also rejected the message that false worship is wrong.

Given the screeds of Fred Phelps and Jerry Falwell (and the Catholic analogs that we all know are out there), its not entirely surprising. Given the pathetic state of catechesis, I bet you she has never heard a cogent explanation of why homosexuality is wrong but homosexuals should not be hated; why abortion is evil but that she must show compassion to women contemplating abortion as a choice of desperation

The writer of this article has certainly missed the point of Christianity. I'm not convinced its wholly her fault, though. The Church has done a poor job of communicating grace, so what she's seen sure does look a lot like hatred.

With that, I believe you have hit the nail quite squarely on the head.
