In my early 40s, I have NEVER heard a homily/sermon in church about what is wrong with the protestant faith.

I wonder how many protestants can say the same.

I grew up hearing it all. You know, Catholics worship Mary and statues. The pope is the antichrist. I believed it too because I didn’t know any better. But praise God the scales fell off!
However, what good things I did learn in the Baptist church I cherish. And I realize that it brought me to where I am today and I am grateful for that.
By the way, a kid asked my son when he was is high school if Catholics believed in Jesus and if we celebrated Christmas! Lol My son told him yeah we do, and we also sacrifice chickens every 3rd Thurs. Of each month. He handles these things better than I.

In 63 years I can’t recall a single sermon about what’s wrong with Catholocism.

Actually, my favorite teen pastor worked with Roman Catholics et al toward reducing troubles at the Jr High’s and High School with unsavory influences. I think there were other such joint efforts. I think other Pentecostals looked at him a bit askance but he was so well respected no one said much. He had some good praise for the Roman Catholics he worked with on such projects, but I don’t recall specifically what it was.

And my favorite church in San Diego also had kind things to say about Roman Catholics et al.

Longer than that, none.
