**Ultimately the mystery is not so deep that it defies explanation. There is evidence in the behavior of cultural elites and worldly leaders that Jesus and Christianity (especially the Catholic part of it) are public enemy number one.**
Monsignor Pope Ping!
Because they are infidels.
Don’t kid yourself- this is behind the decades-old attacks on The Church.
The whole pedophile priests thing remains highly unresolved. What good is a church that can’t even find the moral courage to oppose its own leaders from pretying on children?
This isn’t about pedophilia — it is about why the world hates Christianity and Catholicism.
BTW, there is more abuse among non-Catholic clergy than among priests. Please look up the facts.
Thanks, Salvation!
One sign of the end times is the attacks of Satan against followers of Jesus will intensify and result in “the Great Falling Away” of many in the Church.
Stay in the Word and pray for the Holy Spirit’s strengthening to fight the “principalities and powers” that will try to convince you to abandon your faith in Jesus. As He promises, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” (Rev. 2:10)
It doesn’t help when you have a Pope who is delusional about the inherent pathology of homosexuals. There is no need to be cruel but tolerance and encouragement of such behavior is a moral abomination. Decent people become skeptical of an organization when its leader rants nonsense.
Straying from the Word of God for decades and watering it down to where it doesn’t mean much of anything.... widespread pedophilia and doing nothing about it....Political correctness....not taking a stand on much of anything.... silence on issues such as creation/evolution.....succumbing to LGBT nazis.....etc., etc.....
As with any entity, from a small union to a major army to a religion: if you want all the credit for the good that you’ve done, take all the blame for the bad that you’ve done; no organization nor individual nor idea should get praised for what it has done well without being condemned for everything it has done wrong.
"And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed."
The world hates the church because it convicts them.
It “infringes” on the so-loved and increasingly accepted carnal behaviors of humans.
A bit misleading, isn’t it. Comparing Catholicism against ALL other religions. How about using percentages for each of the non-C religions rather than a single grouping.
I do not believe the world hates religion especially Christianity, since Christianity have been traded for religion
as it has been ruled in the name of Christianity for hundreds of years.
The only ones who have been hated are the Jews, maybe that should tell us something.
Religion has been under attack since the 50’s when Madeline Murray O’Hare successfully destroyed its acceptance in the public school system. And the media has been selling newspapers with every fault the church has except Islam, which they have supported even though Islam has a number of them, far more than any other religion in the media.
So for the libs, just do the math and determine where the new voting base is going to be. And welcome the US to be the next third world country.

Maybe they abused real chrisians for 1500 years.......
The vatholic church is not the church, it’s achurch.
It is about our love of God and keeping His Commandments.
The world (society) wants us to think alike and be enticed by the current fad that may lead us to sinfullness.
If we truly trust in the Lord, we will be rewarded. However, the ways of the world are too enticing to many. Like Adam and Eve, we have a choice - God or Satan. We can try to help others, but it is their decision.
We have to endure the bias and hatred toward God that is also directed toward the Church and its members. 100 years or so is a short time to endure and bear our crosses compared to the eternal reward.
May God keep us all strong and provide the graces to endure till the end.
Because the left wants the collectivity to be the only source of moral values. The Catholic Church, until Francis, was a solid source of moral values and refused, until Francis, to give in to the modern world with its unwillingness to assert moral values.
Because the church doesn’t condone their behavior...pure and simple.
Spoiled children hate the one who tells them “NO”.
