Anti Catholicism is the last remaining acceptable hate bias for BOTH the Left and the Right. The only difference, as i see it, is that those on the religious right see my Catholicism as endangering my immortal soul. Wrong, but at least concerned about me as a person. Those on the Left see my Catholicism as, at best a symptom of mental illness and at worst as a sign of possessing a strong desire to return to the days of The Spanish Inquisition.
No, you are completely wrong about the reason that Obama doesn’t like the Catholic Church. All liberation theologists detest the Catholic church. They see the Catholic Church as an oppressive authoritarian institution of the white man, designed to keep the Black man or other minority down. Remember the BLTs reject a white Jesus. They worship a Black Jesus with the same Biblical history.
