“I am not ‘looking for ways to claim hatred against’ me. Rather, that hatred is parading itself on this thread in proud display.
“I am not ‘playing the victim card.’ Hatred of Catholics and the Catholic Church is not a game, it is not a pleasant dalliance to kill time before pottery class or a sport with score-keeping...there is no playing involved in any of this.”
Well, then, do you feel threatened? Do you feel like anyone on these threads is preparing to seek out Catholic churches and spray paint graffiti on them, or attack your priests, and knock over your statues? Or try to block entrance to the churches?

Or try to block entrance to the churches? Are these the only kinds of threats you can imagine? You're talking about brick and mortar.
What about the threat--the direct, ongoing, palpable threat--to TRUTH that these lies about the Catholic Church represent?

Probably it was no one on these threads, but I can easily recognize the mindset, yes.
