I did. Read the end of the sentence you quoted. It's a snapshot of his hateful views. There is, however, breadth and depth to his hate. Which is I directed you a few good keywords to search his own words in context to get a taste.
I'd say take my word for it and don't waste your time. But it's your time, bud.

> Is he telling us that wives should do what they're told and that husbands can lord it over their wives? On the contrary! He speaks here about a special kind of love (married love) in which there is mutual subjection, meaning that both the husband and the wife should treat each other as equals

> Is discrimination and hatred against homosexuals wrong? Of course—these people are human beings with the gift of God's love, just like you and me! However, endorsing their lifestyle is something the Church will never be able to do, for their actions (which can be judged) are opposed to the Church's fundamental teachings about human sexuality and complementarity.
Where exactly is he saying to hate gay people and that women are owned by their husbands? Were those the posts you were referencing?
Note that elsewhere he also says that natural family planning is not endorsed by the church if done for frivolous reasons:
https://www.jeffgeerling.com/articles/religion/nfp-and-contr...
> The Church allows the use of Natural Family Planning for couples wishing to space out births, but only for serious reasons. A precondition to a couple using NFP is that they act not out of a selfish desire (i.e. the couple wants to have a lot of fun together, and a child would 'put a damper' on their fun), but "in conformity with the generosity appropriate to responsible parenthood" [CCC 2368]
So married hetero couples who don't even use any form of contraception, but abstain during certain times of the month because they don't want kids for lifestyle reasons are apparently opposed to the church's teachings too. Presumably he doesn't hate such people.
So is there something more hateful here? I'm seeing 15-20 year old blog posts with a few paragraphs explaining what the Catholic position on this stuff is in an almost neutral/academic tone. Where's the neo-nazi religious nut stuff?
Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew out of it mostly unscathed. He's a grown-ass man that still believes these truly heinous things. He has not grown as person. Or addressed his ignorance. And he's never retracted or apologized for his hateful views.
Which... it's his right. He can be an asshole. But people should be informed and, like I said, he should be shunned and shamed.
As wrong as they may be, shunning and shaming are also wrong-headed (in my worldview).
Edit: I think it's fine to respectfully share your concerns about him though.
But you have to understand history to know that.
For example, I also grew up in a cult of southern baptist flavour. I've seen some fucked up shit too. Where the cult was a majority, they did a lot of shunning and shaming and that sucked. I just don't think that's right.
Rule of the biggest tribe with the biggest sticks still applies even today I suppose.
But one day...religion is dying out, slowly but surely. I can't wait for the day when the religious have to face what they dished out. I have no patience to teach people that who I am isn't worthy of death or admonishment again and again.
A better, but painful, way is to somehow break the chain of undesired acts until they would be obsessed with better things to do.
Maybe there are even better ways at it and I'm mostly wrong about this - I had never taken any training to be a behavioral scientist - but my point is, point-and-screaming wrong things someone did never goes well.
As a gay man I was looking forward to reading this article because the topic sounds interesting. I'll go to war about this every chance I get.
Oh, so good religion is to hate gays, fine. Well my religion is to hate Christians and I'll secretly support and lobby for their rights to be taken away, I'll lend my voice to all the others so we can shout that Christians should not exist. Fair is fair, right?
As if nothing good they did matters anymore.
There seem to be a lot of people just digging to find dirt on anyone and shame anyone in their vicinity. People that don’t do anything good themselves often.
What irks me most is the the second order shaming of parties likes Framework and Proton.
