This is an ignorant, bigoted anti-Catholic article.

The author knows nothing about the Catholics or people of faith for that matter.

The only take away from this article is learning how ignorant anti-Catholic bigots are.

I dug into the author's background. I don't see anything that makes him an expert on the Church. He generally writes about classical music.

Pray for Pope Francis, evil has gone from lurking to attacking.

I encountered two anti-Catholic postings on Facebook this week. Each one on the page of liberal friends. My 14 year old granddaughter, a recently Baptized Catholic, asked me why a boy would be going around school calling Catholics part of the Illuminata and what does that mean. There is going to be a growing anti Catholic bigotry in this country. Re my Facebook friends, in one case it was a comment on the friend’s lamentation that Brownback had been reelected gov of Kansas. The post was basically that Brownback was part of Opes Dei (he’s not even Catholic although he is married to one) and part of a world wide conspiracy with the Pope to take over the world. When I called my friend’s attention to the comment he said that this guy is a total psycho and he never reads his posts. The other one is going around and I might post it. It’s from Oatmeal something or other. It’s horrible about any person of faith. When I called my friend’s attention to it she went back and actually read it and agreed it was pretty bad and apologized. We have to call this stuff out and confront our friends when it bubbles up.

I agree with your spirit. These FReepers AREN'T ignorant. They are, for the most part, fairly educated.

They may or may not know squat about our faith but they DO know how very, very much they detest our faith. I had NEVER, ever come across such anti-Catholic attitude until I came, and JUST RECENTLY, to these threads.

I used the term "Catholic haters" a while back and got warned by the Religious Moderator. I guess you aren't on his radar yet. With these posts, you will be. Wear that as a badge of honor.

I find MUCH anti-Catholicism by just a FEW posters. Most posters here, of all ilks, aren't here to hate anyone. They may hate IDEAS but not people.
IDEAS: THAT is what our site is supposed to be about.
OPINIONS: THAT is what our site is supposed to allow ALL posters.

That ANY of our posts are deleted is a shame, not for the RMs, but for those who post enough PERSONAL venom to warrant it. Too bad the venom is equally deleted.

It’s a good thing YOU’RE not bigoted against *anti-Catholic bigots*.

You are wrong, author seems to be good Catholic worried about more and more church’s clergyman becoming liberal protestants.
