Calling someone “anti-Catholic” because they don’t genuflect to the Catholic Church is one of those throw away insult lines like calling someone a racist in the hopes it put them on the defensive and make them try to prove they aren’t.

So it’s easy to call someone a bigot and pretend the burden of proof is upon the accused instead of the accuser.

Yep. The goal is to deflect attention from their ignorance of Scripture onto something else. Anything else.
