Because reality cannot be so easily separated from "philosophy." He knows the problems the church has brought on itself; its been headline news for years now.

Most catholics I knew have given up on the church in disgust. Many have quit outright. So when an apologist shows up who is willing to overlook their crimes I am going to call him on it.
By all means, feel free to engage him on whatever grounds you like.
