I can only speak for myself to say: I don't think we are "anti-Catholic".. we are just pro-Jesus and what he did for us. We can't help it if we are just so excited about what our Lord JEsus has done for us, and continues to do in us, and about the Holy Spirit (the same POWER that raised CHRIST FROM THE DEAD - wow!) lives in us! We want everyone to share the joy!
There can be an attitude among some of our RC brothers and sisters that that you are right and everyone else is going to hell. I've clearly seen repeated here that we (non-Catholics) believe there are believing, spirit-led, Christians in every denomination, sect, or whatever you want to call them. It doesn't even taste good to me to say "we" and "you". Why is it Catholic and then everyone else?
So might some Catholics be "anything-other-than-Catholic-bashers"? *smile*
Well put, imho.
Lunch about over . . . heading to pottery shortly.
I hope!
When then do you keep the body of Christ in a state of disunity by remaining in schism? If you are really "pro-Jesus", you will seek the unity of the body of Christ. And that unity cannot be achieved without agreeing on who are the rightful leaders of the Church.

The short answer to your question is no.
I am not aware of Catholics flocking to Baptist, Lutheran, Calvinist or any other non-Catholic threads and telling the participants that they are wrong simply because of their denomination. If this does happen, then I think it is disgraceful.
Most Protestants with whom I am familiar express none of the anti-Catholic rhetoric that I have seen in this thread. Perhaps they believe it, but they do not openly state it. To say "we're all so excited about Jesus we just want to tell you about it, AND OH BY THE WAY EVERYTHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES IS WRONG," is an anti-Catholic insult.
