The title is not a lie and there are plenty of people who acknowledge it - including some Protestants. It doesn’t surprise me that you do not to see the truth.
So no one mistakes this, or has any comprehension issues, YOU wrote this to kinsman. I asked YOU to show some proof of YOUR statement that there are "plenty of people"
So... now we have that cleared up for you.
So... proof for YOUR statement?

In these forums you've proven yourself to be an intelligent, critical thinker. You write statements that are organized and straightforward. You clearly articulate what you believe and you offer reasonable substantiation for your opinions and conclusions.
That's not the case for some others.
The title of this thread is "Hating Catholics–America’s ONLY Accepted Prejudice" - the title emphasizes the absolute impossibility of any other kind of accepted prejudice by using the word "only." The title even highlights this exclusivity by capitalizing the word "ONLY."
Critical thinkers like you have the ability to immediately recognize the likelihood that this is a false statement simply because of the word "only." This is a basic critical thinking skill that even children learn at an early age.
Here is an outtake from a guide to taking a test. The guide is aimed at 4th graders:
The following two groups of words may provide clues to help students choose the correct answer when they have to guess on true/false and/or multiple-choice tests.While it may be true that hating Catholics* is an accepted prejudice among some, it is not and accepted prejudice for America as a whole. It is certainly not the only kind of prejudice that is accepted in certain discrete cultural or socio-economic circles.
FALSE WORDS
always everything completely never everyone exactly necessarily only exclusively "definitely not" totally must "without exception" "no matter what" all everybody nobody none "no one" invariably impossible every absolutely forever1. On a true/false test, the student should guess “false” if one of these words is in the statement.
2. On a multiple-choice test, an answer choice that has one of these words may be a clue that this choice is not the correct answer.
Example:
a. always lives in the ocean.
* b. usually eats fish
c. never hunts at night
d. America’s ONLY Accepted Prejudice (I admit , I added that because I have a sense of humor.)
In deed, is there any kind of prejudice that is universally accepted?
*For the record: I do not hate Catholics. I've been clear all along about my distinction between catholics and catholocism.
