For that matter, these is a substantial difference between a person's individual opinion as your innate tendency to jump on the anti-Catholic bandwagon or an anti-Semite's tendency to jump on the anti-Jewish bandwagon and for the entire doctrine of a group today (like the OPC) to be anti-semitic

The former where an individual has a strong prejudice is an individual's issue, until it blows up to the latter form

As Lucius Sulla pointed out in this post

I consider myself to be a traditional Roman Catholic, though not of the fringe SPXX type ‘Catholics’. My grandfather was a secular Jew, and I grew up with Jewish friends and attended college at the heavily Jewish NYU. I say this not as some sort of justification, but only to point out that I would be highly conscious of anti-Semitism in any Catholic group.

In 1964 I was a board member of NY Youth for Goldwater, there were about 29 members, two of them Jewish, one of them a Black Protestant Democrat, and the rest of them were Roman Catholics (in NY Conservatives were heavily Catholic, partially due to Bill Buckley and National Review). So I was in a position to hear anti-semitic positions among Conservative Catholics.

As someone well situated to hear anti-Semitism, if any, among Conservative Catholics, and motivated to recognize them if they occurred, I have never heard even a hint of the attitudes and positions you mentioned. More than that, I consider your statements on this matter, blaming all Conservatives for the wacked out positions of a few, to be a personal slur, evidence of ignorance or religious bigotry, and I demand an apology.

This is glaringly obvious -- as I have pointed out before that a knee-jerk hatred such that any thread even barely touching Catholicism or Judaism brings out a person to say an adverse comment about either is a sign of a deep problem that must be rectified. This irrational hatred led to such distortions as the "Protocols" and we see the same here repeated on FR (not by you thankfully)

Thanks for the ping! I do have to say that I heard some anti-semitic terms from my Irish grandmother, despite her being married to a Jewish guy. She was a Democrat activist in the 1920’s and 30’s in NYC. I would not say she was an anti-semite, but used the extremely non PC language of the times. (She used to call me her ‘little monkey’, totally peyond the pale these days.)
