No, that’s not true.
It’s not a matter of *If it’s Catholic, it’s automatically hated.*
It’s a matter of the fact that Jesus is not still on i the cross, He died, past tense, and is now risen and seated at the right hand of the Father.
The crucifix a very overt misrepresentation of the current situation.
The resurrection is a critical part of salvation.
Paul tells us here......
1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
*Protestants* are celebrating His victory over death and the salvation it obtains for us.
Catholics are obsessed with participating in killing Him, as the sacrifice of the mass declares. I would not be glorying too much in the idea of participating in the killing of Jesus. The Roman soldiers were not the heroes in the story.
