the reason I usually get from them is that its because the church is the good guy in what little story there is in old castlevania games so they got upset about their portrayal in the Trevor one

Well, it's actually true. The Church in Castlevania is a generally good faction. The Church in the Netflix series is portrayed in a rather unflattering manner. Although there was a token good priest in there he is vastly overshadowed by the villainous ones.

The thing is, though, the Church's involvement in Castlevania is really boiling down to a RL reason to have magicians running around. Notably, Sypha was sent by the Church to fight Dracula (the whole Speaker thing was Netflix original) and while their knowledge of her being a woman is largely absent the thing here is the Church is basically employing a witch (which incidentally was a huge reason why Sypha was disguising herself as a man).
