Unfortunately, most of the arguments against the Chantry that don't stem from the whole mage thing (which is a whole hell of a lot more complex than most fans on either side of the issue want to admit) tend to actually be arguments against Christianity, and as such don't necessarily apply. In fact, some of them are explicitly canonically inapplicable. People just can't seem to separate the RL institutions from the fictional one, because the latter takes a lot of thematic inspiration from the medieval church.

I'm not really in the fandom so I can't say. It'd be absurd to accuse the fictional Andrastian religion of things that aren't canon. But still, it was deliberately based on Christianity and functions very similar as a exclusive religious-political institution, that does do both good things and bad things. Like Christianity, a lot of the beliefs are not presented as historically compatible - like the common belief that Andraste's march was one of peace, when really she was leading an army. I mean, it's fictional, but it's blatantly mirroring Christianity. That being said, plenty of stuff is completely different - it doesn't seem to be sexist or homophobic, for example.
