the bellicose anti-Catholicism that powered the American Revolution

Any day is a good day for historical revisionism!

I guess so.

Silly me. And I thought the American Revolution was about breaking free from the control of England.

The martyr complex displayed by Catholics whining about how persecuted they are is simply nauseating.

If you're going to be a martyr, let someone else decide that you are. Otherwise, you just sound like a whiney crybaby.

But it gives them such a superior feeling of holiness.

wannabes. Because they cannot find their own identity within God’s Word, they MUST take another’s. They simply are not satisfied to be blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. They want the earth, too. Just what God promised Israel. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Gen. 1:1. He created the heaven for a people. He created the earth for a people. They don’t care to be lumped together with all Gentiles. It’s not good enough for them. They desire to be the apple of God’s eye on this earth. Which we know is impossible right now. He is dealing with all mankind on an equal basis through the finished work of Christ. Wanting to be set apart and “special” they steal, kill and destroy that which they cannot have from God Himself. And whine when confronted with the proof. Persecution my you-know-what. It’s called propaganda that is not bought hook line and sinker.
