And they do share the anti-Catholic disease. The boss-lady and I were on vacation and taking a train (we're train nuts) from LA to Ventura and we got into a chat with a conductor and his honey, It was fine as long as we stuck to the civil war (diagnostic technique: Call "Bull Run" "First Manassas" and see if they blink.)
But when they heard we were RCs they went into a tirade against the RC Church,. I was in pastoral mode so I didn't remind him that I was a customer and on vacation and he could at least try a little politeness. But it was as if I'd waved a red flag in front of a bull ....
I’m sorry they did that. I don’t know people who personally attack Catholics like that. We try to explain differences in dogma here on FR, but I doubt if any of us go in any attack mode when we see those ‘wicked’ Catholics, LOL.
