In Catholic countries today, how much freedom do Protestants actually have to practice and prosletyze? It varies, but I believe there are still some pretty tough restrictions in some countries - particularly South America.

Also, listening to St Joseph Catholic radio, a very conservative outfit, I do get the impression these folks are much more upset about the existence of Protestants than about the existence of atheists or Jews or Muslims who don't accept Christ. Show after show on this radio network is aimed at trying to convert (or subtly condemn) Protestants. Very little, if any, "witness" is directed toward people who don't believe in God, or in Christ, in the first place. Seems to me there's definitely a strain of Catholicism that finds it infuriating that there are Christians who don't accept the Roman Catholic version of Christianity -- and this troubles them more than the millions of folks who haven't accepted Christ at all.
