When Gov. Alfred E. Smith ran for president in 1928, his candidacy was derailed in large part by anti-Catholic prejudice. It has been nearly 48 years since John F. Kennedy became the first (and so far only) Roman Catholic president, but experts say that anti-Catholic sentiment much of it originating in, or as a response to, immigrants in New York remains an enduring force in American culture.
That was the consensus of a panel assembled at the Museum of the City of New York on Tuesday night to consider the question, Is Anti-Catholicism Dead?
...The Rev. Richard John Neuhaus a leading conservative intellectual, a former Lutheran pastor and the editor of the leading Catholic journal First Things offered a surprising view on the question.
To be a Catholic is not to be refused positions of influence in our society, he said. Indeed, one of the most acceptable things is to be a bad Catholic, and in the view of many people, the only good Catholic is a bad Catholic.
...He added that anti-Catholicism was as likely to come from the left sometimes from commentators who believe that a threatening theological insurgency is engineered and directed by Catholics, with evangelical Protestants merely as the movements foot soldiers.

The "judgement" spelling is more common in British English, while the "judgment" spelling is more common in American English. Neither is improper in either country.
Neither "alternate" nor "secondary" means improper.
Stomping on someone's spelling errors is a sign you're out of ideas. Doing so while making spelling errors of your own is, hilarious. Doing so falsely on top of it?
Priceless.
You're quite out of arguments, and a bit nervous about it.
Mary is not the "Queen of heaven."We're waiting for the judges now. The cards are going up. Fortunately the lowest score will be eliminated, so the ruling of the judge from Geneva will not count.Is TOO!
And to believe such a lie leaves one vulnerable to believing other lies, like Mary supposedly being born without the stain of original sin or Mary being bodily assumed into heaven, or Mary being a mediator between God and men when Christ is the only mediator.
Is NOT!
Your tag illustrates this pitfall perfectly.
Does NOT!
Flee from idolatry.
I'm rubber, you're glue.
It bounces off me and sticks to you.[Note: In the interests of reducing our carbon footprint, the obligatory cartoon of some animal laughing will be omitted. When Obama lowers the sea-level we will resume printing cartoons.]
And here we go:

Degree of difficulty: zip.
You said: You’re quite out of arguments, and a bit nervous about it.
Quite to the contrary, they will just keep puking up the same demonstrably false assertions and defective theology in a manner as if they were trying out for Linda Blair’s role in the Exorcist.
I can picture it.
AND ficticious!
Spell "judgment" as incorrectly as you please. It will only further deflate your argument (or "arguement" as you may well choose.)
Meanwhile, telling someone they are damned to hell because they don't believe in Rome's "Marian dogma" is satanic and reveals a true lack of spiritual discernment and judgment.
You keep saying "rabid" like it's a bad thing .... I don't get it.
And one of the answers is:
"Never apologize for the Blessed Virgin Mary!"
~~Mother Angelica
LOL!
THIS is your authority?
LOLOL
Spell "judgment" as incorrectly as you please.
I have not done so yet, as the word can be spelled either way.

You're deep in a hole. First step: stop digging.
Meanwhile, telling someone they are damned to hell because they don't believe in Rome's "Marian dogma" is satanic and reveals a true lack of spiritual discernment and judgment.
Finally giving up on the "judgment/judgement thing is wise.
Still, I wasn't aware that the capital city of Italy had a Marian dogma.
Mother Angelica. You think I'm going up against her?
Bad Guys? no problem. Terroristas? Bring 'em on! Hillary? It is to laugh.
Mother Angelica? Yes, ma'am. Whatever you say, ma'am, right away, ma'am, uh, sir, uh I mean, sister.
Anything that keeps you reading my posts will only do you good.
Putting words in someone's mouth and twisting their meaning in that manner is false witness.
That approach reminds me of another movie role:
You can't afford me, baby, I don't care how much you have.
RM: She started it, It's not my fault!
You might want to stick with "mother."
Please stop making this personal.
I read in another post that you misspelled the word. I went to the page and used my search function. You don't think I actually READ that post, do you?
As a rule I think it good to avoid reading nonsense.
I’m sure you’re about to make the same request of Dr. Eckleburg, right?
