Yes, definitely here we disagree. It's the church doctrine. It's their responsibility, not the media's, not the government's and not the of population.
As an example take the recent events in Haiti. This weekend we learned that people would congregate and, convinced that the earthquake was actually their fault as a punishment for their country's and their own faults, asked for mercy from God. Do you think the Catholic church tried to tell them their god is not a vengeful one that mass murders children and innocent? No. Instead you got silence and consented prayer for the people in Haiti. It's the church that spreads by action or inaction their dogma. And a good part of that doctrine resides on Fear.
Then we remember that at the core of the church doctrine is supposed to be Love instead. So, why the church lacks the kind of commitment they put against homosexuality when battling what is in fact a much deeper problem that is a general lack of understanding by their own followers as to what the Catholic Church represents? The answer, as I see it, is because Fear serves them better. Fear has been the historical ally of the Catholic church (and many other non catholic religions) throughout the centuries. It's the glue that keeps the followers attached to the church.
So, in reality the church doctrine is the church's responsibility. It's not up to the media, government or even the population in general to interpret the doctrine. It's up to the church to do that as part of their spreading of the faith. But, through dishonesty is how it has been done throughout the years.
