I'm not sure this is accurate.

Actually, the British have been promulgating the myth of the "Black Legend" and the wickedness of Catholicism since Henry VIII. Catholic hatred runs deep in the British soul. If you read British academics of the 19th century and before, the bias is blatant and unmistakable.

Ahhh... Nineteenth century and before... You must mean the time before Napoleon took out the church of Rome, and caused it to cease it's predatory practices... No wonder.
