Southerners persecute Catholics?
There are sects....hardcore charismatics might think old southern baptist me is apostate by their strict fundamentalism but they hardly persecute
You must be a Yankee.
I’m almost 60.
Grew up in a town of 200,000 with around 8 catholic schools and 10 catholic churches in metro area
Parochial schools played in our sports leagues and so forth
Fish on Fridays in all public schools to cover catholic kids
I hear you Yankees harp on this...likely because early 1900s Klan which was up north as much or more than down here was suspicious of Catholics....like Hugo Black
That was sure not relevant in my lifetime.
New England wasps disliked earlier Catholics....is that still an issue
In the coastal south Catholics are pretty prevalent.... even the majority frequently
They are viewed no different down here than anyone and better than say Kingdom Hall or UCC
What you suggest is a canard to be honest.
Where you ever Catholic in the south? No? Then my anecdotes beat your anecdotes.
