Why are Catholics so afraid of those?

I wouldn't say we're afraid... disgusted or saddened maybe. Because those are errors. I could ask why you're so afraid of Purgatory, Confession, the Assumption, the Immaculate Conception, etc. and presumably you'd say something along the lines of those being false teachings. Well that street runs both ways.

“Afraid”? That’s an odd word to use. In a sense, I’m as “afraid” of these things as I am of the Big Bad Wolf; it’s rather a waste of energy to be afraid of a fiction!

(I see Legatus cogently answered the salient points, already, so I won’t retread.)
