In reply to the discussion: Can anyone point me to any actual persecution or mass discrimination of Catholics in the US today? [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)You live in an area where this is mostly not actionable any longer.
But there are places in the US where this still matters.
Now trends....are for less church, temple, left handed widget attendance and the rise of secularism across the US. But in some places that process is going much slower.
And while cases of anti catholic bigotry (since we are on that) are rare these days...they still happen.
Now, see those Christian Identity Churches I mentioned? I expect those folks to become even more reactionary as the process accelerates. I also expect the RW of (insert religion here) to try to get those old time prejudices going again.
Religions in general are bleeding members and the process is accelerating actually.
In the meantime my motto is tolerance for members of all religions, even if I am very critical of more than a few religious hierarchies, including the catholic hierarchy.
It's the golden mean truly, treat others as you wish to be treated.
