Nope. I confused nothing.
“Ian Paisley does not hate Catholics and never had a problem working with and for Catholics, he has been doing that for years as an elected official.”
Ian Paisley sure seems to hate Catholics to me. He lies about them, their Church, their beliefs, etc. Look at his website.
Simply because Paisley called Pope John Paul II the Antichrist does not mean he hates Catholics. /sarcasm
