LOL Ya think?
In all the time I’ve been an evangelical Christian, I’ve heard nothing but respectful discussion of Catholic doctrine, when the subject comes up at all, which has hardly been ever. Evangelical leaders know people are leaving the Catholic Church en masse, and they seem because of that to not feel the need to say anything more. On a recent interview with a local Lutheran pastor on Christian radio, the pastor even managed to explain the beginnings of the Lutheran Church without once mentioning the Catholic Church! And that was clearly by mutual agreement of show host (the station manager) and the pastor. I also listen, though, to a lot of Catholic radio, and that’s entirely the opposite. “Protestants” are talked about all the time. It’s an ongoing theme. But again, that’s not surprising with so many Catholics leaving Catholicism.
We know the nephew of one of the Catholics murdered by the KKK in this clash that occurred in the 1920s about 15 miles from here:
Excellent list but you forget anti catholic “FEMEN” you know those topless, brainless chicks.
=============================================================
Just to get a different, fresh perspective, you might want to check out these web sites, which feature the opposite kind of testimonial stories -- converts coming into the Catholic faith from so many other denominations, and Catholics returning to their faith after having left it in the past. You may be surprised at the stories they tell.
“In all the time I’ve been an evangelical Christian, I’ve heard nothing but respectful discussion of Catholic doctrine, ..........”
There are some churches out there that don’t do that. Have met a few. However the one I grew up in, did not discriminate, they bashed everyone else alike.
Even now, have had people invite me to their church, and I go only to regret it. Half way into the sermon the preacher finds some way to bash either Catholics, priests, or our faith in some way. As a result I am heading towards the door as soon as insults are said and I’m outta there. Yes I understand why they invited me to church but when you insult me you only make an enemy of me. Don’t know why these people bothered with the invite. They could have just slapped my face in the parking lot and saved me the time.

…22And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23”If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”

I forgot about them.
I thought maybe I'd post a photo of them now, so I just did a Google image search for them, and they had a whole lot of different pictures for "FEMEN", but this is the only one I could find that I can post:
 anti-Catholic FEMEN

The Democratic party, the party of slavery, the KKK, segregation, and the unrestricted abortion, was also the party of anti-Catholicism. Masks, names and tactics might have changed, but not the fundamentals, the party of the KKK evolved its semantics using popular and deceiving words to cover up its enthusiastically adopted Marxist atheistic ideology.
Warning Against the “Roman Catholic Party”: Catholicism and the 1928 Election
http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5073/
What did I see in the [1924 Democratic] convention at New York? I saw Roman Catholic delegates in the corridors of the hotels noisily demanding that the Ku-Klux-Klan be denounced by the Democratic convention. I talked to a number of them. I said, “Gentlemen, that question has got no business in this convention; you may not like the Klan, but you have got no business trying to get a National Democratic Convention to denounce it. It is a Protestant order and Protestants generally think that you want it denounced because you are Catholics.
What would you think if it sought to denounce the Knights of Columbus by the convention? Nobody but Catholics can join that order.” "No,“ they replied,” we want the convention to denounce it.“ I said, ”If you do, you will tear the Democratic Party to pieces,“ and a number of them replied, ”To hell with the party if it will not denounce the Klan." So I tell you Senators again that they put Roman Catholic government above everything, above the Democratic Party, and above their country. That is plain talk, but it is the plain truth.
The judges and other authorities involved there sound like some of the corrupt ones we have here today.
or Jimmy?
I know you posted that for a reason. I just don’t know what the reason is though. Thanks anyway.
You need to read some of the threads here on FR. You will be amazed at the venom spewed by people that claim to be protestant Christians. You can see it beginning on this thread already.
We do not recall these instances of anti-Catholicism to foster more animosity or violence, but recall them as part of our history,
Regardless of what the Bible that they claim was written by them which may be at least partly true says.
Do they expect the protestants or the nobodies to keep silent?
As for the great harlot being the catholic Church even a person with very little knowledge of the Bible could see that it fits better than anything else, that does not make it a fact but lets see a few facts against that way of thinking that make sense.
Also any protestant can or at least should be able to see that if the catholic Church is the whore that it makes them the daughters of the whore, which puts them in the same position.
I doubt if that makes them very comfortable but maybe they believe in ; if the shoe fits wear it; more than the Catholics do.
If the Catholics deny the very Bible they claim to have wrote it seems very likely that they are the leaders in trying to destroy the Church, Why?
Why is it that Catholics do not like sola scripture? is it because it makes it harder for them to shove anything they want down every ones throat?
How about the constitution do they think it takes them to decide what should be in it and what should not be in it also?
Don`t take this as hate as I like the Catholics as I do the protestants and I have disagreements with them also, just telling it the way I see it.
Also while you are on the subject of anti Catholicism maybe it would help to go back a few years to where the Pope and the kings were always in competition for control, seems the only anti there was then was against the freedom to worship God the way one saw fit.
Catholics don’t deny the Bible, but they have a profound awareness that words can be manipulated to suit the manipulator. Protestantism isn’t far from Islam in that sense. I don’t recall Catholics burning anybody at the stake in America, either.
“I don’t recall Catholics burning anybody at the stake in America, either.”
Three words. Salem. Witch. Trial.
All protestant doing here in America. In fact everyone they murdered were God Fearing Protestants.
