Have you ever seen anti-Catholic Street Preachers before; in person or on YouTube?

There are Christian fundamentalist groups that preach hatred/opposition against the Catholicism and/or Catholics. One Christian fundamentalist group that I know and it is listed as a hate group by SPLC and it is called Offical Street Preachers and it is owned by Ruben Israel Chavez. His group preaches anti-Catholicism, anti-Mormonism, Islamophobia, and homophobia with Biblical Christian fundamentalism.

I have seen them on YouTube and they are infuriating. The best one I saw had one of these preachers spewing garbage in front of a Catholic Church, and suddenly a scantily-dressed man came running from across the street and knocked the jerk to the pavement. That was great. 🤣

I have also seen one in person in front of the cathedral in Boise, Idaho. They need to get a life.
 
Yes, they need to get a life. These Catholicophobic Street preachers love to condemn Catholics to hell. In Ohio, I saw street preacher spewing Islamophobic and homophobic slurs at a Mosque and that street preacher says to the Muslims that he loves Donald Trump.
 
Same except this was in middle school and it was an atheistic classmate.
 
There are whole blocks of them counter-protesting at the March for Life. You would think that they realized that if the Catholic marchers were so grounded in their conviction to life and to their faith to brave those winds and temperatures, they’re not going to be convinced by signs and someone yelling at them.

Maybe they hope to convince the spectators, or just to feel good about themselves because they’re “doing something about those horrible Papists”.
 
I have seen some turn or burn street preachers when I was in college but none specifically anti-Catholic. (though if you asked them you may have heard it). You can of course find them on YouTube. I think most street preachers don’t bother with anti-Catholic anymore because there are just so many non-believers that keeps them busy. It is pretty rare for them to run into a educated well formed Catholic.

I have actually seen some very good street preachers as well. There is of course the St. Paul street evangelism which is excellent. I also some a group of Methodist students do a street preachers when I was in college where they were respectful and sincere and brought in science, physics, and philosophy in. Most of the students like me were waiting for their next class and some jeered them but when most saw that they weren’t the crazy kind but were actually respectful and educated they listened quite well I thought.
 
Yeah, there are good street preachers that preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ correctly.
 
The better question is:

Has anyone ever seen street preaching actually work?

I think so called street preaching is merely a futile exercise of showcasing your personal pride and prejudice.

The only reactions I’ve ever seen to street preachers are:

People getting really PO’d (the most common)
People ignoring them
People who already agree with them agreeing

I’ve literally never seen a “successful” example of street preaching (I would consider success an atheist or someone running up and falling to his knees in tears and repenting then being baptized because of said street preachers words).

That is clearly an Apostolic and godly man 😂
 
When I was a teenager and a young man, Pittsburgh had a street preacher on 5th Avenue near Kaufmann’s Department Store. He wasn’t there every day, and he wasn’t obsessed with anti-catholicism, but eventually he got old and his voice gave out on him.

Although back in the day, in 1850, street preacher Joseph Barker was very anti-catholic. Sufficiently anti-catholic, that he was pinched for disturbing the peace. Mr. Barker was also very popular. He was in jail in 1850 when he was elected as our mayor.
 
I agree and he has an anti-Catholic poster that says, “Roman Catholicism is of the devil, it will send you to hell.”
 
Here is a youtube video where anti-Catholic street preachers where harassing Catholics at a parish:
 
A parishioner where I go posted a picture on Facebook of young folks holding up signs in front of the Church we attend. This was a couple of weeks ago. They were driving a red minivan with California plates, and posted that they kept going in and out of the church.

they reminded me of those gypsy kids that ride around in vans and try to sell you magazine subscriptions.

He reported it to the local police.

Did their signs said that Roman Catholicism is from the devil, it will send you to hell or that the Catholic Church was the Great Whore of Babylon from Rev 17 and 18. I think those Anti-Catholic Christian fundamentalists that you saw on facebook are from Offical Street Preachers and they are located in Califorinia.
 
That is also the position of Jehova’s witness people… the Catholic Church is Babylon and they (of course) are the 144,000 saints of Revelation… except they are not even Christian they believe that Jesus is the angel Gabriel
