Ann Glover, an Irish slave, was the last woman to be hanged as a witch. During the trial Coton Mather called Glover "a scandalous old Irishwoman, very poor, a Roman Catholick and obstinate in idolatry."
That said, I always find Baptists to have a deep hatred toward the Catholic Church. Why so?
Good quetion and even better observation. I'm old enough to remember when it was considered chic and fashionable to hate Catholics among certain Protestant sects or, more to the point, certain extreme members in certain Protestant sects.
I think the Kennedys and the Kennedy assassinations made it unchic and unfashionable. That's when the same people found it chic and fashionable to hate Mormons with even fewer consequences.
Bully bigots generally target those least likely and/or fewest in number to fight back.
FWIW, the same Mather clan justified extermination of the Native Americans (including some in the very tribes which helped them survive the brutal early years in the colonies) by the rationalization that they were preventing the birth of more lost souls which wouldn't convert to their brand of Christianity and would be damned anyway. It is the same sick type of philosophy which the left uses for exterminating opponents of their brand of socialist utopia.
As I previously stated, the real Baptists (who adhere the Roger Williams model of absolute right to worship according to your individual dictates of conscience) find such a philosophy abhorrent. The phony variety find it chic and fashionable, particularly when it is limited to only "soft" persecution like shouting people down, distorting their beliefs, branding them as cults, etc. Sort of like a disproportionate number of abused children grow up to be child abusers themselves.
