Not around here it’s not...

Catholic ping!

He added, however, that “untruths and half-truths” make it harder for Catholics to transmit their teachings to the next generation.

The vast majority of “Anti-Catholicism” today is from the Secular Left. They hate the “Evangelicals” just as bad, if not worse, than the Catholics.

[pgkdan]

Not in FreeRepublic it’s not! We’ve got some of the most hateful anti-Catholic bigots in the world on this forum.

[I still care]

I think a more relevant question would be “Is the NYT dead?”

I would love to make a bet with anyone at the Times - in 100 years, the Times will be gone, but Catholics will still be here.

“To be a Catholic is not to be refused positions of influence in our society,” he said. “Indeed, one of the most acceptable things is to be a bad Catholic, and in the view of many people, the only good Catholic is a bad Catholic.”

Father Neuhaus got it right. At least among the left wing intelligentsia.

Seriously...LOLOL

"It has been nearly 48 years since John F. Kennedy became the first (and so far only) Roman Catholic president,"

The GOP has never nominated one. They came close with Giuliani leading the pack. [don't throw up at that thought that he could have become the first GOP Catholic nominee].

[Petronski]

Whew!

[dabs eyes with tissue]

THAT’S a good one.

It’s not Catholicism per se that’s hated by the Beautiful People, it’s any religion with a non-negotiable moral code.

Perhaps I should say, any religion with a non-negotiable moral code that does not enforce it’s writ with violence.

Violence wins plenty of respect from the Left.

a panel assembled at the Museum of the City of New York on Tuesday night to consider the question, “Is Anti-Catholicism Dead?” ... The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus

Rats! I would have gone if I knew about it. I learned about the exhibit from the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny blog.

[the invisib1e hand]

The Museum of New York has just opened it's Catholics in New York exhibit.

Clearly the NYT is carrying out its mandate to propagandize "balance" for the good of its constituency.

**Is Anti-Catholicism Dead? (Ques. Proposed by NY Times)**

Alive and well on FR........what else can I say?

[markomalley]

There is NO anti-Catholicism on Free Republic. None. Zero. Nada. Period-dot-end of story.

Anybody who says otherwise is just a tool of the Whore of Babylon.

[TASMANIANRED]

Live and well.

A new exhibit on Catholics in New York tells a story of transformation with some 400 objects and images.

On view are objects that helped fuel anti-Catholic fervor, like best-selling, luridly fictionalized tales of life in convents, including the 1836 “Awful Disclosures by Maria Monk, of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery of Montreal.” The author, a prostitute, was eventually exposed as a fraud and died in 1849 in a New York prison.

As usual, Fr. Neuhaus, with help from Steinfels, gets the gist of the matter in a nutshell:

Like Professor McCartin, he attributed anti-Catholic sentiment to long-standing historical traditions, including English nationalism that vilified the papacy and Catholic powers like Spain, and the anti-Catholic polemics of the Enlightenment, particularly in France. (The first tradition gave us the controversial Christian evangelical pastor John C. Hagee, and the second the television talk-show host Bill Maher, Mr. Steinfels quipped, to laughter.)

I would add that Protestant Pastor John Hagee has since repented and apologized, I think with great sincerity. Evangelicals and Catholics will always have theological differences, but can--with bigoted exceptions--find enough common ground to extend the hand of friendship and work together.

But the leftist New York Times will never repent or apologize.

Yes, there is still anti-Catholicism in America. We see a little of one kind of it here in FR, mostly from a fairly small group of people, but the most persistent and blatant prejudice can be found in our leftist institutions, with the New York Times running as far out to the front as it can get in its weakened condition.
