Will the Real Catholic Church Please Stand Up?

So, I'm looking for the Catholic Church as it was meant to be.  The Catholic Church that:

• Preaches love for everyone
• Supports tolerance
• Is doing such a good job helping people in Haiti
• Knows better than to get involved in politics and legal battles
• Says everyone is equal in the eyes of God . . . and the Church

Not the Catholic Church that:

• Seems less than interested in reaching out to other faiths
• Threatens to stop social service operations in DC if the city legalizes gay marriage
• Threw support behind the "yes on 8" campaign in California in 2008
• Has forgotten that church and state are supposed to remain completely different entities

I might as well wish for Admiral Adama to swoop out of the sky in the Galactica and take me to Kobol, it seems.
