Who said I'm anti-catholic? I am against their false teachings not against the members themselves.

Then why not keep it objective? Why personalize it by mocking attire with a "funny hat" remark? Do you criticize Jews for wearing a skull cap similar in appearance to that worn by the pope and Catholic bishops? Or othodox headwear such as the mitre which can look similar to Catholic mitres? I've often seen Martin Luther depicted with a "funny hat." Is he fair game for ridicule too?

Do you criticize nonCatholic clergy whose attire resembles that of Catholic clergy? I'm thinking specifically of the stole. Whether it is of Roman or other origin, it became a sign of Catholic holy orders (ordination to the priesthood or diaconate). The nondenominational pastor I listen to every Sunday wears a stole. So did the pastor in the congregation in which I was raised. So do a huge number of other protestant pastors. Do you criticize their attire too?

Peace be with you.

Not usually, no. I have other problems with them that bother me more.
