Encyclopedia: Anti-Catholic These accusations continue to have some currency because of the Catholic hierarchy's alliance with the anti-abortion movement and their periodic threats to use excommunication to compel Catholic elected officials to vote in accordance with the hierarchy's wishes. The singling-out of the Catholic Church for persecution of the Jews over history, and the disregarding of periods of religious tolerance and Protestant antisemitism (for instance on the part of Martin Luther). Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons claims that the Catholic Church originated from a Babylonian mystery religion and that its practices are pagan. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Anti_Catholic   (1465 words)

Anti Catholic ritual is portrayed as medieval superstition masquerading as belief. Phelps refers to the Catholic Church as a "fag" church and claims that a third of Catholic priests are actively homosexual, seducing young boys and women. www.catholicleague.org /research/anticat_internet.htm   (6650 words)

Creeds Catholic Church is the "whore" and the Pope is the "Antichrist". Catholics aren't Christian; apparently endorses the historic view that the Pope is the "anti-Christ".

The Catholic Church - Anti-Catholic Misrepresentations Anti-Catholics typically object to the Catholic Church by claiming that God never intended the church to be a human institution with a hierarchy and a pope. Anti-Catholics claim that the Catholic Church teaches that the sacraments are necessary for salvation. Anti-Catholics claim that the Catholic Church is not the church that Jesus Christ intended to establish because of historical examples of corruption. www.northforest.org /classic/catholic/Misrepresent.html   (7169 words)

PetersNet: W. Robert Aufill, A Look at Dave Hunt, Leading Anti-Catholic Fundamentalist Catholic hearts left unmoved by a stripped-down American Catholicism are reportedly being moved by lively evangelical congregations, and Catholic minds left uninstructed by woolly or dissenting catechizers are offered sharp lessons by such as Dave Hunt in his speeches and widely selling books. Catholics who experience an evangelical conversion typically view their experience through the lens of Hunt's type of fundamentalism — and are therefore lost to the Church precisely when they are most inclined to take religious commitment seriously. Catholics and Reformed Christians acknowledge that some of these represent stages in salvation history, but to call them unique "dispensations" is to break up the story. www.petersnet.net /browse/875.htm   (3357 words)

Nativism: American Anti-Catholic Sentiment, 1830-1845 Although the Catholic church called for the removal of Bible reading as a way to keep its children from the misrepresentations of their faith, the press tried to show that the Catholic church stood against religious education. Although Catholics occasionally reacted to the nativist movement with violence, nativists produced one of the greatest violent acts of the 1830s. Although the Catholics succeeded in demonstrating their political power, the public saw Catholicism as a danger—the same danger that the works of Morse and Beecher warned of. are.as.wvu.edu /baker.htm   (2893 words)

Religious Anti-Catholicism The second is an article accusing the Protestant men's movement Promise Keepers of being in league with the Catholic Church and working to "to break down the barriers to the one world church of anti-Christ!". Alnor, a ex-Catholic, writes a section entitled Catholic Answers (not to be confused with the conservative Catholic group of the same name) which attacks a variety of Catholic beliefs. His views on the Catholic church are clear from the introduction: "the Roman Catholic Church is a false church (the mother of whores, Rev. 17), preaches a false gospel and IS NOT part of the body of Christ." shakti.trincoll.edu /~dcruzuri/anti-catholic/religious.html   (4083 words)

The Anti-Catholic Bible One suspects that Boettener took his alleged Catholic quotations and citations from Protestant works and then deliberately failed to reference them in order to conceal the extent to which he is dependant on secondary sources. Bishop Strossmeyer did not make that speech, and, in fact, when it was being circulated by a disgruntled former Catholic, the bishop repeatedly and publicly denied that it was his and demanded a retraction by the guilty party. Catholics should prepare themselves for discussions with Protestants by studying Scripture and Church history and by reading solid books on apologetics. www.catholic.com /library/The_Anti_Catholic_Bible.asp   (1786 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Antichrist In composition anti has different meanings: antibasileus denotes a king who fills an interregnum; antistrategos, a propraetor; anthoupatos, a proconsul; in Homer antitheos denotes one resembling a god in power and beauty, while in other works it stands for a hostile god. After studying the picture of Antichrist in St. Paul's Epistle to the Thessalonians, one easily recognizes the "man of sin" in Daniel 7:8, 11, 20, 21, where the Prophet describes the "little horn." A type of Antichrist is found in Daniel 8:8 sqq., 23, sqq., 11:21-45, in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes. Following mere analogy one might interpret antichristos as denoting one resembling Christ in appearance and power; but it is safer to define the word according to its biblical and ecclesiastical usage. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01559a.htm   (1875 words)

Answer to Anti-Catholic James G. McCarthy on Co-Redemptrix And though the Roman Catholic Mary is not an infinite and eternal being such as the God of the Bible, she is every bit as much a goddess as were the false gods and goddesses of the ancient world... He says: "The Roman Catholic claim that Mary suffered for the redemption of the world is unjustified for three reasons..." His three reasons are Mary (1) did not suffer for sin, (2) did not suffer death for sin, (3) was not qualified to redeem mankind. When misguided Catholics kneel before a statue of Mary, kiss her feet, and offer to her heartfelt praise and petition, they give to a creature the devotion which belongs to God alone. www.bringyou.to /apologetics/num48.htm   (4267 words)

Ramesh Ponnuru on Judges & Senate & Anti-Catholicism on National Review Online A Catholic can win their support only by ceasing, on the decisive issue, to be Catholic — by breaking from his church's teaching, as Senator Durbin has done. Prejudice against Catholics cannot be inferred simply from Senate Democrats' opposition to such nominees as Pryor. The Committee for Justice, a Republican group that has run ads accusing the Democrats of imposing a "No Catholics Need Apply" test for judges, says that Democratic senators who complain about Pryor's "deeply held beliefs" are making a veiled reference to his religion. www.nationalreview.com /ponnuru/ponnuru080103.asp   (977 words)

Proclaiming the Gospel to the Catholic in bondage to Catholicism with Mike As a Roman Catholic for over 30 years, I was taught from the Catechism that salvation was by faith plus baptism, the sacraments, good works, law keeping, the sacrifice of the Mass, indulgences, purgatory and penance. Only when Catholics trust the Lord Jesus Christ as their all-sufficient savior will they know they are saved completely and forever! According to God's word this is another gospel that leaves Catholics with a false hope. www.pro-gospel.org   (230 words)

Catholic Responses to Anti-Catholicism Some of their stands are controversial within the Catholic Church: for example, their steadfast defense of the actions of Pius XII during World War II, which seems to construe any criticism of Pius XII as anti-Catholicism.

On Opposing (& NOT Opposing) Anti-Catholic Apologists I could write all day about why Catholics should believe in this doctrine or that, and that is apologetics, whether or not I deal with the big shot anti-Catholic "champions". Catholic apologetics is mostly for the sake of Catholics. Thomas Howard and Peter Kreeft would not be Catholic apologists (if you want to make your criterion a strict requirement for anyone to be classed as an "apologist" at all). ic.net /~erasmus/RAZ257.HTM   (4370 words)

Catholic "Anti-Catholic" Bigotry The latest ploy by the authoritarian faction now in ascendancy in the Roman Catholic church is to attribute dissent and criticism to "anti-Catholicism," a bias akin to anti-Semitism. The object is not protect Catholic expression, but to suppress expression that irritates the ultra-orthodox. Catholicism and Catholic culture are a comic mother lode. www.galah.org /league.htm   (653 words)

The Three Pillars of Anti-Catholic History It's hard to refute the argument that "The Catholic Church is wrong because of the Inquisition" when you don't really know what the Inquisition was (or more specifically, what the Inquisitions were). Oh, and by the way the Catholic Church has been involved in a 2000 year old male chauvinistic, murderous conspiracy to keep all this hidden. You'd be surprised how often I hear, "The Catholic Church can't be the Church of Christ because of the Inquisition." www.turrisfortis.com /history.html   (636 words)

History of Anti-Catholic Literature The 1870's experienced some Protestant alarm over Catholic attempts to challenge the exclusive reading of the King James version of the Bible in the public schools, and to obtain state funding for parochial schools. In Europe the 1820's had witnessed the suppression of republican revolutions by the Holy Alliance, the passage of the Catholic Emancipation Act in England, and the formation of Catholic missionary societies in Austria and France dedicated to proselytizing throughout the world, including the United States. Today the Roman Catholic Church has sewn itself firmly into the crazy-quilt pattern of American society. www.geocities.com /chiniquy/Literature.html   (2496 words)

Catholic News Agency I feel very sorry for anyone that has an anti Catholic agenda, they are truly showing their ignorance and lack of respect.

Campaign to ban anti-Catholic bonfire event A Catholic man has begun a campaign to halt the annual burning of an effigy of the Pope on a controversial bonfire in England. But Mr O’Keefe, who was disturbed to learn that Ulster loyalist hardliner Ian Paisley has close connections with a chapel in the town, now plans to step up his campaign and write to every Catholic MP to ask for support in his fight, and he has also appealed for Universe readers to back his battle.

Townhall.com :: Columns :: Anti-Catholic 'entertainment by Brent Bozell While the overwhelming majority of Catholics -- and particularly their parish priests -- were not just innocent of abusive crimes, but strived to be good, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights noticed that they were all still cannon fodder for dark dramatic scripts, nasty comedy plots and tasteless jokes. The year 2002 was a terrible year for the Catholic Church in the United States, and a year in which some church officials deserved everyone's harshest rebukes. But Catholics weren't that lucky -- they saw not only their priests mocked, but their beliefs mocked on TV shows last year. www.townhall.com /columnists/brentbozell/bb20030321.shtml   (799 words)

Anti-Catholicism on the Net Catholic individuals and organizations (most quite conservative) which are responding vigorously to the dissemination of anti-Catholic material by presenting both specific responses and general Catholic apologetics.

The Catholic Connection All around the world Roman Catholics are experiencing the charismatic's second baptism known as the 'baptism of the Holy Spirit.' Many are also being 'slain in the spirit' and are Speaking in 'tongues'. The sad part of this is that few Catholics have been taught to discern the false teaching, false prophesy and false anointing of this movement, let alone the true gospel message. The foremost worshipper of female deities today is the Catholic church, whose pope is about to deify Mary, calling her the "coredemptrix with Christ". www.deceptioninthechurch.com /cathconn.html   (3757 words)

Finding Aid for the Anti-Catholic Literature Collection The Anti-Catholic Literature Collection reflects something of the natue of the last widespread, violent reaction to the Roman Catholic Church in America. His candidacy invoked a vehement anti-Catholic reaction among some factions of the populace, and made evident the American Catholic Church's need for an improved public image.

PLANET ENVOY! Otherwise, all references are to the Catholic Church, often referred to as "the Vatican," a term for which Brown seems to have a special affinity. Reading the novel confirmed that the concerns of Catholics and other Christians were warranted; Brown’s thriller is less than thrilling when it comes to providing an accurate and fair portrayal of the Catholic Church, Christian theology, and Church history. As the Catholic Church holds much of the evidence that would refute the drivel in The Da Vinci Code, I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to a scholarly non-Christian book that might help me make better sense of the whole historical chain of events. www.envoymagazine.com /planetenvoy/Review-DaVinci-Part1.htm   (6809 words)

Is The Da Vinci Code Anti-Catholic? -- Beliefnet.com And then, of course, there are the Christian churches that emerged in the wake of the Reformation, which despite deep differences with Catholicism and Orthodoxy on issues ranging from justification and salvation to sacraments, still continued to affirm the traditional doctrinal understanding of Jesus’ human and divine nature as found in those early creeds. Dan Brown’s thriller equates the Catholic Church with all of Christianity--and implies it's the enemy of Jesus' true intentions. Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches embody that ancient tradition just as deeply as the Roman Catholic Church does. www.beliefnet.com /story/144/story_14484_1.html   (459 words)

CNS STORY: Italian cardinal: 'Da Vinci Code' plays on anti-Catholic sentiment Cardinal Bertone, calling the book a "castle of lies," said he thinks promotion of the book is an anti-Catholic reaction to all the positive attention paid to the Catholic Church and the Christian faith during the Holy Year 2000. The cardinal said it seems acceptable to be anti-Catholic; "I ask myself what the reaction would be to a similar book, full of lies, about Buddha or Mohammed or if a novel came out manipulating the whole story of the Holocaust, the Shoah." Cardinal Bertone said the most ridiculous premise in the novel is the Catholic Church's alleged "obliteration of the feminine aspect from the Gospel narratives and in the life of the church." www.catholicnews.com /data/stories/cns/0501484.htm   (422 words)
