Popish is a derogatory slang term used an adjective to describe a thing as belonging to or characteristic of Roman Catholicism. May also be used as an insult to describe a thing as being like a Catholic item.

Papist is a derogatory slang term used a noun, a term for a Roman Catholic. Calling a Catholic a papist is equivalent to calling a black person a n-word.

They are both similar in that using them orally or written shows ones ignorance and bigotry.
