As a young Catholic I was unaware of the amount of irrational hatred that was directed toward the Catholic Church and Catholics themselves.

Sounds like he's been reading the Religion Forum on Free Republic.

I was told all about Catholicism and how it is really just paganism re-written. To his and most Fundamentalists credit, they literally do not know they are repeating lies.

Sadly this pretty much say it all in the nutshell. I pray for that my Protestant Brothers and Sisters to read the Early Church Fathers and realize that they have been lied to about Catholicism.

Dear friend,Excellent article thank you for posting it

I wish you a Blessed Evening!

Catholics were perpetrators of religious atrocities and they were victims of it too.

The author has some real issues with non-Catholics.

That is generally the tactic of the anti-Catholic. Never acknowledge that they are wrong, just move on to the next attack until they find something that the Catholic cannot answer. Usually it ends with some obscure Pope from the 7th century that no one knows about.

That does have the ring of truth, doesn't it?

I need to learn to punt earlier and pray more.

The author makes a number of good points, particularly about history. But I have to admit again (I’ve said this umpteen times before on this forum) I really despise the term “anti-Catholic.” I refuse to have anything to do with it.

To me, it smacks of the same kind of wimpy victimology which we see on the other side.

It is not a terribly useful label either. If I believed Catholicism to be of the Antichrist you bet your bippy I’d be vehemently anti- it and proud of the fact, just as I’m proud as punch to say I’m anti-abortion, anti-terrorism, and well, frankly, anti-Protestantism.

Telling a man he *shouldn’t* be anti- something he views as evil is asking him to be a schizophrenic.

The dude stole my line!

Catholics sure can write about themselves.

It’s easier to blame the devil than to assign guilt properly and without words like “ignoramus”.

Mankind has inflicted horrible sins upon their own brothers and sisters.

Is it true that most murdered in Nazi concentration camps were executed by their Jewish capos? Maybe. Some theorize that the capos, by executing the victims themselves were more merciful than how the Nazis would butcher the condemned.

And of those pro-abortion candidates that use their Catholic Baptism as a pledge pin, aren’t most of them voted into office by other Catholics?

Beware the satanic tactic that turns the hearts of men against fellow man. What is but a natural separation has become an unnatural division. This is how satans turn dark skinned people against light skinned people, and even male against female.

The proper division is sin versus obedience. If St Michaels victory cry is “Who is like God?”, then mankind’s battle cry must be “Who is like Jesus?” With Jesus, our Human Race is victorious as He is our Ever Champion.

Nice post. I find the anti Catholic sentiment here at FR the most distasteful along with theories of the Neo Confederates and the anti-police crowd. Fortunately the latter two are relatively few in posters. The first seems pretty widespread.

::Sigh::

Despite the author's attacks on liberalism, he sounds like a coastal elite leftist when he attacks the Bible Belt and Fundamentalists (not to mention the whining about the persecution of his "indigenous" ancestors by big bad Anglo-Saxons; that gets old too).

Let the Catholic Church stop teaching that the Bible is mythology and a great deal of my own hostility will end.

Catholics have been hit over the head with the Bible by Protestants for so long that they've come to distrust it. Now they've convinced themselves that total inerrancy is merely an adjunct of "sola scriptura" so now they're against it.

And Keating is an evolutionist.

Replace the words Catholic/Catholicism with Mormon/Mormonism and I’m right there by your side.
