Archbishop Fulton Sheen of blessed memory said that, if the Catholic Church was really like what some people believe she is, he would hate her too.

Your understanding (or lack thereof) of Catholic theology is pitiful, i.e. deserving of pity and sympathy.

Get a Catechism, or this book, which I highly recommend:

and find out the truth for yourself.

I'm a convert, and before I was a Catholic I heard all sorts of crazy stuff that people swore was Gospel truth. Thankfully I had the sense to go and find out for myself, instead of just believing the pulpit-thumpings of somebody with an axe to grind.

I wish I could understand the perverse pleasure Catholic-bashers take in savagely attacking things about which they know so little. Like a schoolyard bully, deep down inside they must feel very small, and this behavior somehow ameliorates their feelings of inadequacy.
