Nope, for decades and decades, to this very day, they still proudly state their support for the Church and call themselves Christians/Catholics. If you don't think people who support equality voice their displeasure at crimes committed in the name of protest, I apologize that your perspective is from a place of extremely one-sided ignorance. Look at the hyperbole you use when discussing one side vs. the other, BLM DID EVERYTHING BAD, CATHOLICS DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. You have, in my estimation, an extremely black and white view of the world that doesn't allow for nuance at all, and this stupid perspective basically informs everything you think. The real world is significantly more complicated than you want it to be so hard so you can feel like you're on the side of good and can look down on the evil democrats, black people, etc. and root for their humiliation and destruction, like they're your enemies, not just fellow human beings with which you disagree with. There are good Catholics and good Christians, the church can do a lot of good things, but the church CAN do some bad things. It also has been exploited for greed and criminality for centuries. Look at the mansions megachurch pastors have. The private planes. The sex scandals those people have. It's all well documented, and you don't see 1/100th of the uproar from Christians from their own faith being exploited than you do seeing them attack BLM for similar even if you insist that they totally hold their own accountable.
