[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a non-practicing Catholic and can see exactly why there is a lot of animosity toward the Catholic church. It's hard for millions of people to approve of a multi-billion dollar institution that tells other people how to live while not only turning a blind eye to decades of child molestation, but could also easily build a hospital for the poor if it sold off a few lavish properties in the US and Europe. The church in many ways has forgotten the poor man who walked around in sandals, was kind to children and threw money changers out of his father's house. And the church is able to go on this way because so many Catholics are more interested in the blessings but not actually living according to the words of Jesus Christ. [/quote]

And there is still not a hint of traditional American Protestant anti-Catholicism out there?  I find a lot of today's anti-Catholic sentiment is the same kind of stuff that the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale and other Protestant anti-Catholics used to peddle back in the day.  Only now, it has been picked by so called "secular" liberals, feminists, etc.  They are not happy that an institution that has existed for 2,000 plus years fails to "get with the times," so they attribute to it and its members all sorts of malignant intents.

Why have we not had a Catholic President since JFK?  There are plenty of Catholics in both parties who have been more than qualified? [/quote]
