Anyone who says that anti-Chtholic bias is not thriving in America, both within the leftist-athiest communities and among the so-called “saved” is either ignorant or lying.

I expect no less from the MSM. They hate God and anything to do with it and will, of course, castigate religion any chance they get. The more light a denomination shines on their immoral behavior, the more they'll hate it.

However, I don't see anything in that link that implicates the *saved* (meaning non-Catholics, Protestants in particular, I presume).

I don't see the kind of anti-Catholic bias among any of the Protestants I know, I haven't seen it in decades. Not to say that it didn't used to exist, but it did go both ways, knowing it from being raised a Catholic.

I still stand my my statement.

"I don't see anything in that link that implicates the *saved*"?

That is why I qualified the word saved with the quotation marks. As a Catholic participant of many religious discussions on FR I am appalled by the level of anti-Catholic sentiment and vitriol that spews forth under the anonymity of internet postings by people claiming to be saved because they, and only those identical to them in thought and affiliation, have broken the secret code to the Word of God and found the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. It makes one really question what lies beneath the veneer civility when encountering non-Catholics face-to-face.

I agree, this has been my experience with my Roman Catholic friends.

Honestly, neither did I until I came here. Maybe it’s the anonymity of the internet. I married a non-Catholic, half my blood family is non-Catholic. I don’t think that “Anti-Catholic” is the norm among Christians and in fact proved it with two threads a while ago asking if Catholics thought Non-Catholics were Christian and if non-Catholics thought that Catholics were Christians.

It was an overwhelming YES on both sides. Some people were even offended that I asked. That is until the Anti-Catholics showed up. And yes, we had one Catholic who tried to say no, but he was quickly shot down.

There is a difference between discussing differences with tact and as FReeper Sandyeggo put it “Slash and Burn Evangelization”. Most people can have differences and still show Christian love.

We have a bigger fight than each other! I’m just trying to get my kids to adulthood with their freedoms intact!
