There could have been no “anti Catholic” anything in 60AD
The Romans at that time were busy killing Christians and worshiping the gods/goddesses they collected from all over their empire.
Like apollo who they thought carried the sun across the sky
(the Romans were sun worshipers) and diana who they called the mother and queen of heaven (this one goes way back to the tower of Babel I think but by a different name)
YUP.
THX.
Where exactly did you get that the Republic Romans were sun worshippers? The primary religion was to Venus (since the Romans believed they were descended from her),Jupiter, Juno, Minerva and Janes.
