Your comment above doesn't even qualify as binary thought, IMO.  It is over-simplified and under-informed one dimensional "thought" at best, and even within its backward-focused tunnel vision, it is yet another cherry-picked factoid that does not--at the very least--consider competing opinions just within the Catholic Church, e.g. it even ignores the differences between John Paul II and the current pope, not to mention a multitude of more complex, forward-thinking, multi-dimensional, and comprehensive thinkers--both theological as well as secular.  

Many people used to think the Earth was flat, and a few still do--which I think makes the point that it may be your pov that is "strange" and not that of much better-informed people than yourself, which--in a perversely admirable way--you have absolutely no shame about displaying repeatedly.
