What are some examples of prejudice and discrimination against the Catholic religion?
Well, in North Carolina, there used to be a sign on the road between the coast and the capital that said, "entering the city of ...., Notice: NO {word for a black person}, No Catholics, and no Carpetbaggers. That sign was there when my previous pastor made his weekly trip to the capital. A couple years later they removed the reference to black people, but not Catholics. A friend of my mother's used to work at a local eatery in the town where I live, and one of the waitresses with whom she had worked for months took her aside and asked her if it was true that Catholics drunk the blood of babies. Up until the past few years there were precious few Catholics in this entire state, and some of the Horror stories that people were told are hard to believe. There are still numerous incidents of hate speech on the web. One particularly vile site is Chick publications which continues to sell numerous anti-Catholic tracts to hand out. And then there is the Landover Baptist Church site:
The Church guarantees salvation since 1620 that is actually their logo. sounds like there selling burgers.
well anyways they have the forum website which at first glance looks like an absolute joke and they pretty much condemn everyone to hell, at first sign up (curiosity and questions got the better of me) you realize these people really believe in what they think and oh your given the title of 'unsaved trash' once anyone is signed up and need to work your way up to "True Christiansâ„¢" (which actually is a registered trademark of the company). talk against any of their teachings and your title will be 'eternally condemned to hell' or "papist dog' depending what question you have asked. But no wait it even gets better in there "false religion category" they have threads with titles such as,
•Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians
•10 Reasons why GOD HATES SOCCER!
•10 Reasons why GOD HATES SWEDEN!
•Michael Jackson alive - Hidden by Catholics
•Towns that will go straight to hell
•The Godfather of the Vatican: the Catholic Church and the Mafia
•GOD HATES FAT PEOPLE!
My personal favorite is the "Michael Jackson hidden by Catholic" thread
The List goes on that was actually the first couple of pages.
Each one of these threads these people actually believe in what they say.
