Oh, okay.
So rather than go with what the Catholic Church has published about its views of other Christians, it would be best to take the word of an atheist posting in an atheist forum on the Internet who is giving us the skinny on what she claims "many Catholics think."

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
