This could read just about every American Diocese in my area.
Love the muslims, hate the protestants (the priest had a nice anti protestant sermon on Christmas eve, followed by how much he respected the mosque across the street).
The Catholic church has a problem.
Real LOVE of the Muslims is to pray for their CONVERSION to Christ.
Also I am interested in what it is exactly that people both Catholic and non expect us to do about the Muslims and the mosques? Just curious, as it gets rained down on our heads. What are the Evangelicals, Lutherans, UCC's, Baptists, Ana-Baptist, Calvinists, Methodists, United Methodists, United Evangelicals,Congregationalists, Pentacostals, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Adventists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Quakers, Amish, Mennonite, Unitarians,Non Denominationals, all those who fall into anyone one of these with a variation of theme and all those who steadfastly refuse to be categorized, going to do about any of it?
I apologize if I missed your particular sect.
As a Roman Catholic of many, many years, I have never heard any priest criticize any Protestant religion. Respect for other Christian religions and for Judaism is preached occasionally, though.
Perhaps, thinking is different in your denomination, “American Catholicism”.
“Love the muslims, hate the protestants (the priest had a nice anti protestant sermon on Christmas eve, followed by how much he respected the mosque across the street).”
I am Catholic, and this sounds crazy. I have not ever heard a sermon in my church which could be called ‘anti-Protestant’ - unless it would be a call for people to return to the Catholic Church.
I do think that the entire Western world is bending over backwards to not offend Muslims - or say anything bad about Islam. They are in a state of denial about the dangers we face.
Honestly can't say I've ever heard an "anti protestant" sermon, whether on Christmas eve or any other day.
