Kamala Harris can't be too anti-Catholic if she would not Prosecute accused Priests?

[RidgeSprinter]

Your definition excludes all those anti-Catholics who are not Protestant. What are we supposed to call them?

Give an example.

Otherwise:
Anti-Catholicism in the United States is historically deeply rooted in the anti-Catholic attitudes brought by Protestant immigrants to the American colonies. Two types of anti-Catholic rhetoric existed in colonial society and continued into the following centuries. The first, derived from the theological heritage of the Protestant Reformation and the European wars of religion (16th-18th century), consisted of the biblical Anti-Christ and the Whore of Babylon variety and dominated anti-Catholic thought until the late seventeenth century. The second type was a secular variety which derived in part from xenophobic and ethnocentric nativist sentiments and distrust towards increasing waves of Catholic immigrants, particularly from Ireland, Italy, Poland, Québec, and Mexico. It usually focused on the pope’s control of bishops and priests

If you want to get a taste of real anti-catholicism, I suggest a visit to BaptistBoard.com or CARM.com.

Catholic Apologist Dave Armstrong wrote a great article last year:

Wickedness Of Christian Division & Anti-Protestantism

I express my very strong feelings concerning the tragedy of Christian division & anti-Protestantism, & how they harm the Body of Christ & the larger culture we live in.

Real anti-Catholicism comes in the form of people like James White and other debaters against Catholic Apologists.

I find accusing politicians of being anti-Catholic because of their line of questioning to a nominee quite insulting to us whom have actually battled real ones.

I actually asked Patrick Madrid if he thought it was insulting to him as well. He said yes.

Give an example.

Two links from Patrick Madrid showing that he does not believe anti-Catholicism to be limited to Protestants who attack Catholic theology à la James White:

Link-- a powerful talk from our 2008 Deep in History conference, Patrick Madrid, whose own ancestors fled Mexico during an era of religious persecution, talks about the history of anti-Catholicism in Mexico during the beginning of the 20th century. He looks at the Revolutionaries who fought the government, the government that cracked down on the Catholic Church, and the role that priests and lay Catholics played… (edited to add that this paragraph is a quote from the link)

[Link-- ](Link-- )"‘A New Season’ of Anti-Catholic Bigotry" in which he describes a secular act of blasphemy completely unrelated to Protestant theology.

I do not know what happened in your conversation with Mr. Madrid, but I find it difficult to believe that he would agree that those who have “debat[ed] specific Protestants in person with real anti-Catholics” have fought tougher battles than did those such as the counter-revolutionaries of the Vendée who under the banner of the Sacred Heart opposed the armies of the French revolutionaries.

Kamala Harris just shilling for Catholic supporters? This is like Obama’s mother giving birth in Kenya and then having a Hawaii newspaper announce his birth in the US: It would take some far-seeing calculating individuals!

I asked him this in either 2001 or 2002.
I began debating the tail end of 2000.
Of course his opinion could have changed by 2008 probably after more study on his part.
