Can you exapnd on this? Especially on the specifics to what you think those actions are and how their against/anti Protestant or Catholic beliefs.

E.g. I think what your getting at is something akin to, "you can't be Catholic if you are for abortion".

How about "You can't be Catholic if you go about creating your own Jesus and rewriting the rules as you see fit".

A quote I heard recently: “You may not live what you profess, but you will live what you believe”

He accumulates vast amounts of money and AFAIK isn't very into charity or helping the poor, which directly contradicts Christian teaching. By the most direct interpretation of the Christian gospels he should be giving most of it away, but even a more moderate interpretation says he should be doing a whole lot more philanthropy.

He openly supports and funds elitist ideologies like neoreaction that propose that all human life is not of equal moral value and that some are "just better" than others and more or less that might makes right, which is very contrary to Christian teaching.

Those are two that come to mind instantly. There's many more.

He's pretty clearly a political reactionary who believes in religion as a tool to organize a society. That's a secular belief. Belief in religion as a political tool does not require belief in God. (And on the flip side it's entirely possible to believe in God but not to like or trust religion, which is a secular human institution.)
