They name the (over-)reaction for what it is: hypocrisy.
"... the statement was simply an affirmation of longstanding church doctrine. The criticism is hypocritical because many religious institutions and individuals similarly hold the belief that their path is the only way to salvation.

Bigotry and hatred must be abolished by the faithful embracing their similarities and savoring their differences."
