The Catholic Church should be a House of God. It's meant for worship and prayer. Instilling hatred while dulling the parishes senses to the sin of it is wrong. He made God's House worse than a den of thieves. It was a den of hate, where he could practice his lust for vile attention. He was dulling the people to the wrongness of his and their sins.
This is good site to spent time on.
