Again basic logic:

1. Multiple causes does not make the Catholic Church less anti-intellectual. The question is whether or not they do anti-intellectual things not whether they are the sole cause of anything or the only anti-intellectuals.

2. Ad hominem attacks on me do not make the Catholic Church less anti-intellectual

I'm not "attacking" any target - simply stating the fact that the Catholic Church was and is anti intellectual. That doesn't mean everyone in the Catholic Church is that way or that every position of the Catholic Church is that way; for instance I like what the latest pope has been saying about economics.

Your argument seems to be that everyone is anti intellectual and that therefore relatively no one is. That we can't call out an organization for practicing obviously anti intellectual culture when everyone is doing it.

I think if we accept that argument then there just is no such thing as morality. All humans are bad people and so therefore relatively no one is. Doesn't matter how many atrocious acts any group commits cause those events had multiple causes and similar things have happened around the world.
