>> Saying, the Pope...is hurting people in the name of Jesus” isn’t “justifiable offensive”?

I’m not sure what that means. If you’re asking whether I said that ... no, I didn’t. I found the statement offensive myself, and said as much — thus I must already understand that it can be justifiably offensive.

I asked a separate question about the way such offense was stated in the initial article. The citation was made to being offended because the statement is contrary to papal infallibility. I don’t believe in papal infallibility ... and was offended for a different reason. So, what is the root of the anti-Catholicism in the statement? Does my denial of papal infallibility, and my disagreement with the pope on occasion, make me anti-Catholic?
