In reply to the discussion: Can anyone point me to any actual persecution or mass discrimination of Catholics in the US today? [View all]ButterflyBlood
(12,644 posts)I've never posted "Fuck the Catholic Church and the Pope" (something I've seen multiple times) or called the new Pope a fascist, etc. and I even objected to claiming that all Catholics are pedophiles and pedophile-enablers. The main reason I made the OP was because I was deeply offended by a post I saw elsewhere where someone compared LGBT to Catholics and basically said Catholics are just as discriminated against. And I'm not even LGBT myself. It'd also be kind of weird for me to be "bigoted" toward Catholics since many people here seem to be defining Catholics as certain ethnicities and demographics (in other words things that can't be changed even if one converts) and I was raised Catholic myself....so by that standard I'm bigoted against myself.
