Drinking alcohol is encouraged in the Catholic church

Wrong. Drunkeness is a mortal sin.

In the Catholic church, only heinious type sins are condemnable and require forgiveness

Wrong.

It’s not uncommon for a Catholic to g for a full year without confession and repentance...

"It's not uncommon" ... it's also "not uncommon" to find a Catholic catechism or spiritual director encouraging an extensive examination of conscience every night.

Many protestants confess their sins, big or small, daily, or hourly...

And many Protestants think their sins don't matter because they're guaranteed to go to heaven no matter what.

Absolutely, categorically untrue. All the Protestants I know try as hard as they can to stay away from any sin that would be an abomination to the Lord that they love. I have met no one...period, that thinks or acts like you describe.

Next propaganda myth...
