I quote:

"Progressive Catholics may continue to assume that conservative Catholics are all intolerant, racist, and misogynistic."

The Professor deserves thanks for his literal (albeit unintended) permission to assume that so-called conservative Catholics are not only intolerant and misogynistic, which is obvious, but also racist, which many hoped was no longer the case. Of course it's not fair to paint a large group with such a broad brush. Nevertheless this writing provides a revealing bit of evidence.
