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.
