There is real, abiding dislike of Catholics among evangelical protestant Christians. Always has been. Many of America's founding religious groups fully intended America to be an officially Protestant land.
Then all the Catholics they had fled from in the old World poured in, too.

Amusing to a non-Christian such as myself.
