Yet Catholics can bash Protestants all day long--and still make the claim that only Catholics get "persecuted" here with a straight face.

There's a huge difference between name-calling - which is something some Catholics on here are guilty of - and stating your belief that Catholics are idolaters, which reeks of the anti-Catholic propaganda which has been preached by Protestants since the dawn of Martin Luther.

[Buggman]

Yes, and the difference is that the former is sheer ad-hominem, and the latter is the result of simply comparing that Catholics openly do to what the Scripture says about the practice. If pointing out the obvious is "propaganda" in your world, then you have truly lost the argument.
