What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever heard an Anti-Catholic say?
 
I once read on an anti-catholic website that the reason we (Catholics) give children scapulars at first communion is to instill a sexual fetish toward cloth in children early.

Where would someone get such an idea?!
 
Well the most absurd proclaimation I have heard is the Catholic Church is evil. I’m not even sure how one would get that foolishness to come out of their mouth. I’m positive it would go something like…Let me perpetrate this lie to promote my own false agenda. 🤷
 
The one I heard growing up in the 50’s and 60’s…was that there are tunnels between convents and the rectories…and the priests and nuns meet down there to have sex.

I heard an older dentist repeat it to me about 4 years ago…his response was that is always a kernal of truth to rumors…
 
You mean the Sisters don’t wear habits to cover their horns??:eek:

I went to college in Tallahassee, Fla and held down a job in town during the late '50’s and early '60’s and heard all of the above things plus.
During the Kennedy presidential campaign there was a billboard in the yard of a certain protestant church in down town Tallahassee stating: “The Whore of Rome, or, the Truth about the Catholic Church”.

That is along the lines of Maria Monk’s story, in which she claimed that nuns were having children by priests, who then baptized the babies just before murdering them in cold blood. And of course, the conspiracy theories about Jesuits (them conducting Black Masses, for example) are a phenomenon unto themselves!
 
Hoo boy, I’ve heard some run of the mill crazy things-- the regular “you pray to Mary as a goddess”, “you worship statues”, and such. I think one of the weirdest ones was Jack Chick’s “Death Cookie” (a must read) and his assertion that Catholicism is really a cover for pagan worship of Egyptian gods/goddesses (it’s hard to explain, and it makes my head hurt to contort and misinterpret things as much as he did to understand it all).

The newest one I’ve heard/read is that the Papal staff is really a Satanic cross-- a twisted cross. It came into usage during or just before Vatican II by Paul VI, and has been used by every pope since.

The crucifix bears a bent beam-- it is bent by the sin of the world, and is modeled on a sketch by St. John of the Cross, and is as far from Satanic as you can get, but that doesn’t stop bigots, does it?
 
I read Maria Monk’s materials…it shook up my friend…it was demonic.

I used to party with brothers, priests, and sisters. We had this one party where there are two basins of water. Each contestant is given a large pop bottle. Then they get on their knees, and compete to see who can fill up the bottle first.

I won.

I have no doubt, someone will turn that into something satanic by next week by playing telephone[gossip]😃
 
Gary,

Telephone gossip can go both ways. I used it with the Mormons to show how 6 people could come up at the end with a different answer, but then around 100 AD, Catholics were worshipping pretty much the same throughout the Christian world!

Alot of the crazy ideas about Catholic are gossip.
 
The craziest stuff comes from the Jack Chick comics. There is a tract entitled “My name in the Vatican?” that claims that the Inquisition lasted until the 1800s and is about to start up again, and that the Catholic Church has a giant supercomputer that stores the names of every protestant in the world so that they can launch their large-scale inquisition against non-catholics. Chick then laments how his book “Alberto,” which is full of wild anti-Catholic conspiracy theories, is not sold in Christian book stores because the Vatican has been sending its secret agents to bully people into taking them off of their shelves. (In reality, most people wouldn’t keep those books on their shelves because they’re so obviously full of nonsense; but to Chick that’s just an excuse and a cover-up.)

I completely forgot about the ultra super secret computer, and the list of protestants. Someone evidently has too much time on their hands! The Alberto comics would be funny if they weren’t so blasphemous. The man claimed to be a Jesuit priest (the obsession with Jesuits is another thread), and it was pretty easy to find out that he was a shyster who had abandoned his wife and children to scam anti-Catholics out of money. Kind of a modern day Maria Monk.

are you sure it wasn’t seventh day adventists? i went to a prophecy seminar put on by them and i was not knowledgable about their religion and didn’t realize how anti-catholic they were until about 3 weeks into the seminar. i couldn’t believe what i was hearing and how hateful they were toward the Catholic church.

Funny how the JW’s and SDA’s share the same roots and rhetoric.:confused:
 
My paternal step-grandfather, who was a good man in his own way and was raised in the South, which was not then nearly as Catholic as it is now, called Catholics “mackrel snappers” and said, quite earnestly, that we prayed to the pope, who then prayed to God for us.
