You could try answering the questions, particularly the first one.

I’ll even reword it as it’s awkwardly asked.

What Catholic hate was displayed in my posts that were removed on that thread?

You forgot to say “And I mean that in the nicest way.”

This is a serious issue, because telling Catholics they will always be Catholics can hold them back spiritually out of some kind of fear. Openness and freedom are essential for people to find their true beliefs. That is why I don’t like people calling this a Christian country, although that is a separate issue.

I have had Catholics condescendingly tell me they would pray for me. It is a veiled insult. To use a holy phrase like that to denigrate others’ beliefs is doubly wrong: it insults the hearer and it demeans the phrase itself.
