Those are not “anti-Catholic” statements. They are simply Protestant. I don’t agree with him, which is one reason I am Catholic, and in fact he gets some of what Catholics believe wrong, but it’s not fair to say his statements are anti-Catholic. This is like when McCain tried to slime Bush for appearing at Bob Jones university, claiming that Jones was anti-Catholic when in fact he was Protestant.

The article starts from a typical leftist view that if you disagree with someone you are “anti” them.

As for me I love meeting committed/believing Protestants and discussing/debating these issues. If I meet someone who thinks it’s all the same thing, I’ll just walk away.

Oh I live in Bob Jones' backyard... the headline of the college newspaper or newsletter or whatever it is when PaulVI died was "Pope Paul VI, archpriest of Satan, a deceiver and an anti-Christ, has, like Judas, gone to his own place"

THAT is anti-Catholicism.

Just in case there's any doubt about Bob Jones, here's another choice quote "I am inclined to blame every evil on Romanism. Although I dislike everything about the harlot church, the so-called 'Society of Jesus' is the most vicious creation of that religion of darkness and dead bones."

If that's not anti-Catholicism I don't know what is, that's not mere theological disagreement.

What a calm and peaceful response. Not like Ann Archy’s hysteria and name calling at all!
