Protestants sometimes object to the term, “Protestant,” preferring the label, “Christian,” instead. But their Christianity seems to consist almost entirely of protesting against Catholic doctrines and practices. Perhaps it’s because “we’re not Catholic!” is the only doctrine all Protestants agree on, except for “Sola Scriptura.”

On the contrary, I'd say the vast majority of "Protestants" never give Roman Catholicism a second thought. Perhaps four or five centuries ago it was not necessarily so, but no one defines their faith by what they don't believe. I think that is more a propaganda or pretended persecution tactic of argumentative RCs - especially so on these RF threads, it seems.

What I find bemusing is when a non-Catholic posts a thread discussing what IS believed on certain topics, little time elapses before some Roman Catholic joins in to assert whatever was stated in the article is wrong/in error and had to have been posted for polemical purposes and is anti-Catholic. Heavens forbid if it is a former Catholic testifying to why he/she left Catholicism for a non-Catholic denomination!

And while we are on THAT subject...explain why FRoman Catholics feel perfectly justified in posting threads explaining all the things Protestants get wrong and how Catholicism is the superior and "full" Christian faith or threads that boast of former Protestants who came "home" to Rome, and then pitch a fit if a non-Catholic dares express disagreement? A few have even astoundingly asserted there NEVER is or have been threads that are anti-Protestant! Irony indeed!

The “ anti-Catholic” label has been thrown around so much with so little basis as to render it meaningless.

I posted some Tozer threads which in no way referenced Catholicism, and they were keyword spammed with “ Catholicbashing”.

A persecution complex indeed.
