17. No it doesn't. The Catholic Church's leadership in the Magisterium -- made up of the world's bishops and the pope --

defines itself as "the servants of the Word of God." Nowhere in the Bible are humans called to hate (and especially from Jesus in the New Testament, which is totally about him) in the sense that mistaken right wing Catholics feel it -- theirs is a sin against God and their neighbor. And their priest was telling them that.

The Golden Rule dates back to 2040–1650 BCE first written down in Egypt, and universally practiced at that time.
The Bible's original manuscripts date back to 700 BCE, but its texts claim moral concepts dating back to 4,000 BC.
