It’s a Catch 22 for them.

If they admit to it, then it proves our point.

If they deny it, then they are at odds with the Church which has condoned it.

Yep. And it is exactly that internal conflict which produces anger and frustration and foot-stomping and empty accusations of "hate-mongering" and "bigotry.

More from Isaiah 44...

"Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish" -- Isaiah 44:24-25
