No, it isn’t. This is demonstrated by your failure to produce a single example. Put up or shut up.

This still going on? I suppose the solution would be to ping you every time Prots are broadly maligned as you see being done to Catholics.

Certain RC's here have broadly said things denigrating protestants (such as saying they do not use legitimate sources due to being intellectual dishonest, who are ignorant of proper interpretation of scripture, or that most protestants are completely biblically illiterate, or that Protestantism is negative, or that Protestants need to to take responsibility for same-sex marriages, or that overall those in Protestantism are vandals by inclination who should be wiped out, and that anti-Catholic Protestants are damned, etc.), and Prots have done such also towards Catholicism (and been criticized when specifying Roman Catholicism).

However, besides the comparitive validity issue of the generalization one church versus a vast group, the fact is that negatively broadbrushing a group based on general characteristics is seen in Scripture.

Thus the issue is whether such a charge is warranted, and any protest should be based on that.

I’m more than okay with that. If it’s happening, I’d like to see it.

Perhaps, though, we should agree in advance on a neutral arbiter who would decide whether comments made were indicative of bigotry.
