I don't think the perception is going to change anytime soon.

in europe (specifically ireland and germany).

5. No, you'll just come off as an anti-Catholic bigot |

Better to appeal to lay Catholics to send their heirarchy a message by withholding donations. When they pass the baskets, drop in a note instead of money.
"If you're going to preach at my Congress, I'm going to vote in your basket"

since I am one.
I'm anti-church stranglehold on politics I'm anti-anyone who covers up child abuse Sadly it appears that the church hierarchy is up to their pope in hiding child abuse.

7. I didn't say you were anti-Catholic, I said you'd come off as one... |

...so pick your targets and shape your arguments so that you don't have people who agree with you rallying behind the bishops instead, just because you included them in a broad-brush denouncement.
Ask "Why is healing the sick being held hostage to this one issue?"
