There’s three that really take the cake.

#3: “There are Christians, and then there are Catholics.” I didn’t waste any more time correcting this person. As far as I see if, if people insist, they’re entitlted to be rude and stay ignorant.

#2: A friend of mine (agnostic) said, quite seriously, “You know that the Catholic Church is the most evil institution out there?” I said, “Really? The Catholic Church and the Evil Empire of Kim Jong Ill and his minions against Benedict XVI? Riiiiight.”

#1: This one takes the cake. At one time I attended a few Adventist workshops at the church of a family friend, who was an elder. Sabbatarians, especially Adventists, are some of the snobbiest, least Christ-like lot of Christians I’ve seen. After the service he called people to baptism, and specifically went to my family. He said to me: “You should accept Jesus in your life.”
 
Here’s “My Name?..in the Vatican?” in all it’s absurdity: angelfire.com/on/3angels/nameinvatican.html

At the end of the book is a pledge that it says Catholics should take:

"Realizing that I, as a Roman Catholic, am not a Christian according to the Bible, I am now willing to do what the Bible says to become a Christian. I now turn to the Lord Jesus Christ alone from faith in sacraments and unscriptural dogmas, rejecting the Roman Catholic institution as the spiritual harlot prophesied in Revelation 17. Being saved now by grace through faith in the word of God, I have absolute assurance of eternal life now, and forever in Heaven with Christ.

(If you have received Christ as your personal Savior through reading this message, please send us your testimony. We will send you a Bible to help you get started in Christian life)."

The craziest thing I’ve ever heard an anti-Catholic say to me personally? A (former) evangelical friend told me at lunch “Catholic is one of the things people like to be because they think they’ll go to Heaven, but really they’re gonna be cast into Hell!”

Even some of the non-Catholics sitting there were pretty offended at that.
 
I wouldn’t call this person an anti-Catholic, but she certainly had some false stereotypes about Catholics. She said that ALL Catholics are anti-gay, which is just simply not true. Some are anti-gay, but so are a lot of non-Catholic people. And, a good amount of Catholics accept gayness. It gets dangerous to draw blanket statements about ANY religion, group of people, race, etc.

Read Jack Chick’s “The Storyteller”…there’s a part of the Jesuit’s setting up the attempted assassination of the former Pope, using a muslim shooter intentionally, so that afterwards muslims would feel “guilt-induced” to rush in and join the Catholic Church, so that the Vatican could then turn them all into a secret army, to start a new crusade, to "GET JERUSALEM":bigyikes:

Close runner ups:
  1. I’ve had an ex Catholic turned anti Catholic tell me that the Church never taught her that Christ rose from the dead.
  2. I’ve been told that Catholics worship Mary without knowing that they’re worshiping her.:rolleyes:

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.

No, it wasn’t the Seventh Day Adventists, it was another main line sect, incidentally, whose deacon was also the Grand Dragon of the local KKK at the time!
 
During the Kennedy campaign some protestants said there was a plan to rename the Statue of Liberty as “Our Lady of the Harbor”.
 
My all-time favorite is the frequent charge of “cannibalism.” Protestants don’t realize what an honor it is to be called that, since it joins us to our ancestors in the faith from the first centuries who went to their deaths charged with cannibalism. The Roman Empire then didn’t understand the Eucharist, and 21 centuries later, Protestants still don’t. But I’m thankful Protestants don’t throw us to the lions (though it seems that some of them on other discussion boards would like to!). 😃

This one burns me because it was so casually done: A friend went into a new “religious” bookstore. She had recently converted from Methodism, and had to go through a serious struggle with herself to do so. She asked for a missal and was told that store did not carry non-Christian materials. :mad:

Has the CIA chatted with your friend about aquiring a missle:D
 
So a guy in my office (an evangelical) is becoming a Mason, and there begins a discussion between my supervisor (a Catholic and member, as I am, of the Knights of Columbus). Busy doing something known as WORK :eek: I was only half listening to their conversation. Then I heard the evangelical say “the Knights of Columbus has all kinds of strange rituals from what I hear”. My sarcastic nature aroused 😉 I replied (without moving my eyes from my computer), “yeah, we eat and sacrifice puppies” never dreaming anyone would take what I said seriously.
I was wrong.
My young female (non-Catholic) co-worker behind me said with a serious look on her face: “REALLY!?!”
Seeing an opportunity for a little fun I replied “oh yeah, nothing like a puppy on a spit roasted over an open fire, almost as good as newborn kittens”. :eek:😃

People are fascinated with things they do not understand and, as a result will believe almost anything about it because of thier inability of accept something they have no experience with.
 
This isn’t really an anti-Catholic story:
I was somewhere, in class I think and I had a crucifix with me or a rosary. This girl next to me saw it, touched my hand, leaned forward, looked me straight in the eyes and said, “You know Jesus rose from the dead.” I was thinking “thanks for the update.” but instead of saying something smart I took it as a teachable moment and said “Oh yeah, We just use the crucifix to remember the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made.” She looked relieved.

the strangest thing was “How can you belong to a Church that refuses to believe and follow Jesus?”:banghead:

“The Mass is all about Mary” (apparently they never went to a Catholic Mass):rolleyes:

“Blessing one’s self is of the devil”:eek:

I can do anything unless I ask the Pope first (yeah, I have the Vatican on speed dial):whacky:

BTW live in the Bible 🤷
 
I’ve heard that certain verses of the Bible are lies inserted by Catholics to bolster their goal of world blasphemy: this from a person who simultaneously thinks the Bible was not historically preserved and saved by the Catholic Church. Like, then, how do propose those supposed lies got into the Bible? Unbelievable.
 
Let’s see… Here are some from the course of my life:

The pope has 666 on his crown.
Catholics worship a dead Jesus. (Huh?)
There are tunnels used by monks and by nuns to get together illicitly.
Catholics think they can do anything they want and then go to confession and it is OK.
Catholics don’t read the Bible.
Prayers in Mass are vain repetitions.
Catholics have to do everything the pope tells them to do.
The Vatican is all about money.
The Catholic Church added books to the Bible.
Catholics think they can work their way to Heaven.
