There is just too much in this comment that deserves to be challenged ... not least, the blindness to the fact that the US Catholic Church is now divided. You may not like the labels some people use to describe the factions. However, that distaste with the labels is not an excuse for denying the sad reality to which the use of those labels bears witness.

However, I found the comment (and especially its follow-up) useful because they offer an insight into the presuppositions which power your thinking, and consequently, your comments.
