That's the most charitable way I can describe Ann Weaver Hart's article "Catholic Bishops Sow Divison"

The one line of hers I most agree with?

"The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is meeting in Baltimore this week."

She's absolutely right, they sure did!

Everything else she writes? Misinformation along these lines:

The Catholic church has adopted the attitude for centuries, that women who became pregnant in bad circumstances were suffering for their sins, and deserved whatever came their way, including, but not limited to being separated from their infants at birth, living in poverty, and enduring social stigma for either having children outside of marriage or being without them. The neoconservative movement, which tends to believe that poverty is a well-deserved punishment for sin, has agreed, and the two groups have supported “social conservative” candidates whose real agenda has been laissez-faire corporate rape of the country and its citizens.

Reading this, I can't help wonder why orthodox Catholics labor under the stigma of being "ignorant".

It just goes to prove that the only thing you can hate is a caricature of the Church, not the true Church.
