Anti-Catholicism is on the rise. What can we do to stop it? [/quote]

50% of Catholics are liberal. Most of the Supreme Court is Catholic. Catholics aren't a monolith, they are statistically representative of Americans. Who is targeting Catholics? Is this 1920?[/quote]

Anti-Catholic hate doesn't care if you're liberal or conservative -- all Catholics are targets. What does the Supreme Court have to do with it? (Twenty-percent of Americans are Catholic, so yes, like Jews at 2.4% of the American population, Catholics have at times been overrepresented on the current Supreme Court.)

Of course it's not 1920 (nor 1933), but anti-Catholicism is a scourge that never goes away, as we saw today. [/quote]

He didn’t choose the school because it was Catholic, he chose it because he used to go there[/quote]
This, and/or because his mother used to work there. Shooter was probably a Catholic.[/quote]

Ant-Catholicism is hate no matter who perpetrates it. [/quote]

[b]It's ridiculous to call this an anti-Catholic hate attack. That's like calling every murder in USA an anti-American hate attack.[/b] [/quote]

It is most definitely anti-Catholic hate, which is on the rise in America. You sound like you need to examine your conscience for anti-Catholicism.

Literally every time a mosque or synagogue is attacked we are told it's anti-Islam or anti-Semitism hatred, yet Catholics are treated as second-class citizens when we are attacked. This in and of itself is a sign of the growing crisis of anti-Catholicism in America. [/quote]

Unfortunately, many Catholic Churches have aligned themselves with MAGA. You also have high-level converts like Vance. I left the Catholic Church because of it. This was really an attack against MAGA. [/quote]

That anti-Catholic trope is a widely-debunked conspiracy theory. And a canard. There are Catholic Republicans and Catholic Democrats and all are victims of this anti-Catholic violence. Casual justifications of anti-Catholicism like saying they "aligned themselves with MAGA" really shows you the banality of evil. [/quote]

The national stats on catholic voting showed about a pretty even 50/50 split between Trump and Harris (similar to Trump and Clinton).  Biden did somewhat better with Catholics, for obvious reasons.  But there's a huge variation between churches -- if you look at Sacred Heart in DC or St Stephen's, you're not going to find 50% Trump voters -- I'd be surprised if you find 5% Trump voters.  But if you look at the Catholic Church out in Virginia that Scalia attended....the demographics will be different.  My sense is that this church in Minneapolis was not very MAGA. [/quote]
