Sadly, this is true. And that makes me sick.
Nothing worse than you got a good debate going and then those idiotic "Anti-Catholic" complaints come out.
People in this day and age don't even know what that word means. Try reading up on the riots of the 1800s, where people actually died on the streets and churches got burned to the ground. And I never heard the Roman Christians or the North American martyrs call their pagan torturers "anti-Catholics".
It's just one man's opinion, and several well-meaning Catholics have tried to talk me out of my position on this, but I still maintain that it's false, cheap, and even cowardly to use that term in an argument as if it vindicated your position.
Sheesh...somebody calls you the servant of the Whore of Babylon, call them a stiff-necked heretic! Where's common decency anymore? :)
Your views on this matter (as on some others) are a breath of fresh air, Claud.

Well, this Catholic absolutely agrees with you on this. Being wrong about theology or the Bible does not make one "anti-catholic." This is why I disagreed with the Catholic League and others who used that term to describe Mr. Hagee.
It's best to keep your timelines straight.
