When confronted with such blatant and vitriolic anti-Catholicism here, it might be helpful to pause and ask the simple question, "Why are some people so bitterly and vituperatively anti- Catholic?"
I've compiled a brief representative list of some well-known anti-Catholics from both the present and the past to insert here, and I think it might be helpful to consider why these sour-faced folks are/were so anti-Catholic, just like a small number (maybe 20 or so?) of the posters here on Free Republic often are, in their frequently hostile, antagonistic, and usually false / inaccurate posts.
There are many possible truthful answers to that question, of course, and it might be helpful to take a brief time-out here, in order to analyze some of these answers to try to find some of the deeper underlying causes for the often harshly negative views of these anti-Catholic bigots.
Some anti-Catholics (or at least some people who are "anti-Catholic-teachings") are actually "Catholic-In-Name-Only" CINO's, like Pelosi, Biden, Sebelius, Cuomo, Sotomayor, etc., who, like Judas Iscariot, are traitors to the Catholic Church, and reject and oppose her sacred teachings concerning faith and morals (given by God), but who publicly posture, and lie, and pretend they are true Catholics, when they really do not believe or follow the God-given teachings of the Catholic Church.
Some Catholic bashers are themselves former Catholics, who, strangely enough, are often the most bitter, and petulantly acrimonious anti-Catholics of all (as anyone reading some of these threads can readily see), and perhaps their rancorous and acerbic anti-Catholic feelings are due to some slight or hurt (real or imagined) from their past which is still causing them intense pain.
Examine this partial list of some anti-Catholic persons and groups and the pitiful objects they produce, and see if you can find other common attributes or characteristics among them besides just their obvious shared anti-Catholicism, which might have a bearing on the motivations for their anti-Catholicism. Then we should all do our best to see if a way can be found to help anti-Catholics here and elsewhere to see the light, remove the deep bitterness and the anti-Catholic bias from their souls, and turn to the true Church founded by Jesus Christ, for complete healing and reconciliation.
