Like you, I too used to be a "Bible Only" Christian, who would have said, "I only accept it and believe it if it's in the Bible!" With great regret and contrition, I also have to admit that I too was once very anti-Catholic...

The above statement assumes that people who believe this way are anti-Catholic. The assumption is incorrect.

Yup, you won’t see this Protestant bashing Catholics. If anything, I have a great deal of suspicion of those who seem dedicated to causing strife between us.

My husband’s family is Catholic, he has many who served in the ministry, as Nuns and Priest. They are the most God fearing and God loving people ever. His cousin (a Nun) identifies herself as a charismatic Catholic. (Well, did as she passed about ten years ago.)
My Mom’s family some are mormon and some born again Christian.
My Dad’s family Catholic and born again Christian.
I can tell you that with some exceptions the born again and Catholic members of the family worship God Almighty, and love the Lord Jesus. We may disagree on some things, but the nature of God Almighty we do not. We regularly celebrate together.
(The mormon members do not ever celebrate with us, as they do not believe in the nature of God Almighty as the rest of us do, and have pretty much shunned those of us who call ourselves Christian. It is truly sad they the mormons so deceived.)

I wasn’t saying all “Bible Only” Christians are anti-Catholic, but that I used to be a “Bible Only” Christian and I was also an anti-Catholic, like many “Bible Only” Christians are.
