So why do Presbyterians hate Catholics so much? Or so it seems.

It’s hilarious to me, because the Presbyterian Church got their name from the Catholic Church, presbyter. Even St. Paul uses that word.

And all priest belong to some kind of presbyteral council; in the eastern U. S., it might be called something else.

From parish to vicariate or deanery to presbyteral council that meets with the Bishop to the Bishop’s council that meets with the Pope. Really a very short road/connection.

Presbyterian is a Biblical form of church government .. not a doctrine

Presbyterians did not get their name from Rome. As you then went on to point out, Paul wrote about the structuring of the early church via presbyters and synods.

Scripture is the source of the name of the Presbyterian church.
