Religions are grievous concept of our times, as most of us do not follow what the religions stood for originally. None of the religions preached any impairment to humanity. They always advocated peaceful coexistence. Presently, the indigenous religions are threatened by egotism of religious perceptors and the absence of proper discernment of the holy preachings of the religions at the time of their origin.

Do catholics tolerate other religions?

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.
