The modern manifestations of anti-Catholicism come in different degrees, some of which I don't mind, some of which I think should be eradicated.

I don't mind if someone's religion includes the tenet that the Pope is the anti-Christ, because it seems to me all religions that theirs is the only way to get to heaven, literally or figuratively. It doesn't mean the people cannot live in tolerance of each other.

I do mind when it is stylish among powerful people to use the world of art and politics to ridicule Catholics and sound off against Catholicism like latter-day KKK. I condemn these actions with protest and returned ridicule.

What should be eradicated world-wide is physical harm from slaughter elsewhere to vandalism here. Those of us who care about a tolerant society should work to make sure authorities do not allow physical crime against Catholics go by the board. That, I think is where the real danger lays: in government kowtowing to the opinions of rich and stylish leftists.

Very true.
