text: When I reflect on "hate" the old saw comes to mind about the pacifist who discovered his spouse in a compromising position. With a gentle certainty he affirmed: "I wouldn't hurt you for the world. Unfortunately you are standing where I am about to shoot".  
  Equating "hate" with emotional revulsion gives hate a pass. Hate is ALSO the calm, patronizing, sometimes but not necessarily snide, calculating intention to deny, exclude, act in a way that has the consequence of hurt, exclusion, diminution, denial, pain that is irrespective of truth.
  Equating hate with emotion is to ignore the manipulation of reality, of other people, the deliberate, ideology-serving denial of and misrepresentation of fact. 
  We seem to be living in that world. That world is against reality, creation, also Christ incarnate, real. That world is therefore "anti-Christ"?
  We find it here.
  Surprisingly, sadly, ironically, our Roman Catholic Church seems to spearhead, institutionalize it in some ways.
  What are we to do?
