Catholic Only Do you think Catholics are being harshly criticized?

[Henrywrites]

I am writing this from the position of anger. I have been a Roman Catholic since I was born, my parents were and my extended family are Catholics. I feel that there are a lot of times other denominations criticize the Catholic church harshly for one thing or another. Maybe because of the way we read the Bible. Do you think this is true?

I grew up Catholic in a very Catholic area, and currently live in a vey Catholic area again. I never heard anything anti Catholic growing up but thats probably due to going to a Catholic grade school and living in a mostly Catholic neighborhood.
I do think Catholics are sometimes judged harshly now.

I agree that there is a harsh note from some when they describe what they think about Catholics and Catholicism. But what can one do about it? When encountered a gentle correction is worthwhile, but if that is rebuked then a timely and gracious withdrawal may be the best ting to do.

God bless.

No longer Catholic so I can't reply. But I shared this admittedly RANT here 7 years ago.... I might add, my son attends a Catholic School.... there are private Protestant schools in our area but we enrolled him at this Catholic school, and it's a great blessing.

Anti-Catholicism, Anti-Protestantism

. "That's CATHOLIC so it's bad, wrong, false, heresy, blasphemy!" Say (variously) some very modern American (and Australian) "Evangelicals" If it's CATHOLIC, it's bad. Wrong. "That's PROTESTANT so it's bad, wrong, false, heresy, blasphemy!" Say (variously) a few fundamentalist Roman...
