Do catholics tolerate other religions

Answer 1

Yes we are. Even though our past with other religions is not pleasant, we do not dislike other religions. It is true that Catholicism is tolerant of other religions, although it took a long time, and the success of Protestantism for this to be a fact. The church eventually had to give up the fight and be accepting once so many other nations became predominantly protestant, and in those countries the Catholics often became the persecuted. However the view of most Catholics well into the 20th century, and the official view of the church itself was that no one but Catholics could be saved. This changed after Vatican II, inasmuch as separated brethren could be saved if they were truly faithful Christians because of the fact that they were, because of no fault of their own ignorant of the truth of the Catholic Church. In other words they could only be saved as de facto "adopted Catholic Christians". One can only wonder what would have happened if Protestantism had failed and been practiced by an extremely small minority in all nations. In this case it is arguable that the Inquisitions would have continued for a much greater period. There are conservative Catholics today, in a minority, but still a fairly sizable one, who still consider Protestants unsaved because of their faith, and would quite readily put into place a Catholic theocracy in the United States if they could. I'm a convert of 26 years, and I know what I'm talking about, I've met these people.

Unfortunately, no, the Catholic religion has not always been tolerant of other religions or beliefs. Today, yes, the Catholic religion is tolerant, but in the distant past there was bigotry on the part of the Catholics, especially towards the Jews.
