I am well aware that some unknowing “Christians” do not study Church history, and so, are uninformed. Some are even virulently anti-Catholic and publish anti-Catholic tracts. But these seem to be mis-guided individuals, who are not aligned with a specific church…they simply have access to a printing press or blog.
On the other hand, the Catholic Church maintains an on-going relationship and discussion with many “Christian” churches, all the way from Southern Baptists to Anglicans.
To my knowledge, in recent years, outside of one incident in Birmingham, AL, no Catholic in the US has been murdered by a “Christian” seeking to “eliminate” the Catholic Church.
To my knowledge, it is much more difficult to live in a country where Hindu’s (India) or Muslims (Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq) see the Church as a threat to their “national religion”. There have been murders there, and even genocides in Rwanda…all in an effort to kill the Catholic Church.
Please tell me if this is not sufficient as an explanation.
