Nevertheless it has anti Catholic references in it.

Not being Catholic, I wouldn’t know, but it seems to me that would be true of many hymns written by Protestants.

"Nevertheless it has anti Catholic references in it."

Then there's something wrong with Catholicism.

Here are the lyrics to Amazing Grace, why don't you point out what you think are all the "anti Catholic references":

    Amazing Grace!
    How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me
    I once was lost but now am found,
    Was blind but now I see.

    'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
    And Grace my fears relieved
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed.

    Through many dangers, toils and snares
    I have already come
    'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far
    And Grace will lead me home.

    The Lord has promised good to me
    His word my hope secures;
    He will my shield and portion be,
    As long as life endures.

    Yet, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall posess within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.

    When we've been there ten thousand years
    Bright shining as the sun,
    We've no less days to sing God's praise
    Than when we've first begun.

    Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
    That saved a wretch like me.
    I once was lost but now am found,
    Was blind, but now, I see.
