If you had said that the Catholic Church was a corrupt institution or that the Inquisition was really bad back in the day, I wouldn't have questioned you. You've shifted your claim a great deal.

Just accept the fact that EE-BO happily bought into the anti-Church and anti-Catholic genre of literature that arose amongst the "leftist" elements of Spanish society over the last century and a bit - and while some of the complaints are justified, it doesn't make the literature any more credible in an analysis of history and society... just good fiction.
EE-BO has basically focused on the most anti-Church/Catholic elements that appealed to the pre-existing or desired "academic" result that sees EE-BO's beliefs validated - of course that means that pesky things like reality or critical thought get lost in the pursuit of "proof" of "teh evilz Catholics".
Just do what I do, talk just enough to the person to realize that they aren't legitimate critics but anti-Catholic bigots and move on...
