I'm glad you shouldered the burden of answering that question before I got to it. 'Blind' is a good way to describe what you are talking about, especially in the OP's case. It's like having a verbally abusive parent who tells you: 'you are a weird little misfit so you can't expect to have the same rights as other normal people, but don't worry, we will still love you as long as you understand that your place is over there on the outside.'
The Church might as well be calling him Quasimodo, and making him live in the bell tower, but instead of being infuriated and indignant, the OP is grateful to this church for accepting him despite his "damaged" condition. This was somebody's self-worth, slowly and purposefully chipped away over many years, and he can't even see it. Blind is right.
BINGO, and even with the left who truly believes they are helping, this is no kind of help. It is still telling someone they are broken and doing so based on an old comic book having nothing to do with our modern understanding of evolution. I wish there was a polite way to say it, but there simply is not.
Eh, being polite is overrated. [emoji6]
