Reason The last time a political figure's Catholicism became a nationally publicized issue was during the 1960 election; at that time, candidate Kennedy defused the issue not by reconciling voters to his faith but by effectively promising to suppress his religious beliefs should they ever interfere with his duties. Jenkins plays with the common argument that the hierarchy is so central to Catholicism that an attack on it is an attack on all Catholics, but this is a dodge. The rough standard established here—that while religious beliefs may fairly be treated as politically objectionable, simple religious affiliation may not—was enough to satisfy all but the most hardened bigots of the day. www.reason.com /hod/tc090803.shtml   (3471 words)

Anti-Catholicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On the other hand greed, Catholicism's view on homosexuality, and the celibate priesthood were low on the list of grievances for those who held an unfavorable view of Catholicism. Added to that according to Catholic teaching those in a state of mortal sin should not receive the Eucharist, which Catholicism considers a biblical rule that is not specific to any occupation. Charles Chiniquy's 50 Years In The Church of Rome and The Priest, the Woman and the Confessional also criticize Catholicism as pagan. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-Catholicism   (2449 words)

The Myth of Anti-Catholicism - Or, how the establishment learned to stop worrying and love the pope.  By Michael McGough However, the central problem with Catholicism is that it is authoritarian and anti-democratic. Catholicism should be credited for advocating the rights and responsibilities of the individual person regardless whether they are a member of our immediate social group. If Catholicism were still regarded as an exotic sect, it would be treated with kid gloves. slate.msn.com /id/77691   (1885 words)

1995 Report on Anti-Catholicism Labeling Catholicism as a "rigid and inflexible belief system," and accusing the Catholic Church of having supported the Holocaust is cruel and dishonest. Higher education was the locus of several jabs at Catholicism. It is also hard to believe that a Jewish judge would be asked to recuse himself from a case simply because he had written with passion on the subject before him. www.catholicleague.org /1995report/report95.htm   (2399 words)

1997 Report on Anti-Catholicism Moreover, there is no shortage of the number of Christian bookstores that continue to carry anti-Catholic tracts, and there is no religion that has earned the enmity of secularists more than Catholicism. It is a sad commentary on the artistic community that offenses against Catholicism continue to mount. ffenses against Catholicism tend to emanate from activist organizations, the artistic community, commercial establishments, government and the media. www.catholicleague.com /1997report/report97.htm   (1981 words)

Anti Catholicism is not the enemy alone, though anti-Catholic articles appear to be the highest in number at Harbor Lighthouse. This traditional anti-Catholicism created many of the myths of anti-Catholicism that linger within the culture: the church as solely interested in power; Catholicism as an "alien" religion in America; Catholicism as the enemy of separation of Church and State (as well as the public school system); the Catholic Church as oppressor.

EDITORIAL: Anti-Islam slurs remind Catholics of the past Catholicism had to reveal itself to be a “good” religion. Catholicism’s disdain for Protestants and its “Christ-killer” charges and intolerance toward Jews won it no friends in either religious camp. Gradually, publicly, through word and deed, Catholicism began to reform itself, to explain itself and -- certainly where the Jews were concerned -- to finally apologize. www.natcath.com /NCR_Online/archives/030802/030802n.htm   (677 words)

Andrew S. Moore: Anti-Catholicism, Anti-Protestantism, and Race in Civil Rights Era Alabama and Georgia    They worried that Catholicism inherently challenged the constitutional separation of church of state, and both groups questioned the other’s anti-communist credentials. Catholicism served as an identity marker for the region’s Baptists, Churches of Christ, Methodists, and Episcopalians, who put aside their own theological differences to celebrate a Protestant heritage that transcended denominational boundaries and regional identity. Catholicism persisted and brought Catholics attention disproportionate to their numbers in the South. jsr.fsu.edu /Volume8/Moore.htm   (7897 words)

SSRN-Anti-Catholicism and Modern Church-State Relations by Thomas Berg Although negative attitudes toward Catholicism certainly remain significant, they are less widely held, are less focused on Catholic schools as such, and are only part of a broader distrust of politically active social conservatives, including evangelical Protestants. Second, in the 1960s and 1970s, negative attitudes toward Catholicism might have been expected to decline, but they lingered, and for that and other reasons the ideal of church-state separation became even more strict, especially in restricting aid to religious schools. First, the late 1940s and early 1950s saw a resurgence in fear and distrust of Catholicism, and these contributed to the rise of church-state separationism in constitutional decisions. papers.ssrn.com /sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=294342   (430 words)

ROMAN CATHOLICISM Moreover, Roman Catholicism is based on the idea of faith, "what moves us to believe is not the fact that revealed truths appear as true and intelligible in the light of our natural reason: we believe 'because of the authority of God himself who reveals them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.'" Roman Catholicism states that because of original sin, man is inherently sinful and needs to be saved.

Fordham panel debates anti-Catholicism The ways in which Catholicism has been practiced in the United States during the last four decades has provided an “insurance policy against anti-Catholicism,” he said. And just as suddenly the city turned its attention to the scandal of clerical misbehavior, and Catholicism began (again) to take on the dark role of cultural demon, she said. She spotlighted the Catholic “iconography and grammar” of the events of Sept. 11 -- heroes, rescuers, last rites, requiem Masses, Catholic charity and the Catholic mayor announcing the distribution of first-class relics from ground zero -- “urns of dirt with the elemental presence of those destroyed in the fall.” www.natcath.com /NCR_Online/archives/071902/071902h.htm   (872 words)

Penn State News By demonizing Catholicism, "liberal, gay and feminist politics in the last two decades have developed 'barbarian images' such as the Pope and the cardinals to attract attention and sympathy to their causes," he adds. "Catholics and Catholicism are at the receiving end of a great deal of startling vituperation in contemporary America, though generally, those responsible never think of themselves as bigots," writes Jenkins, distinguished professor of religious studies and history. While a hostile comment about Jews or Blacks is directed at a community, an attack on Catholicism is often targeted at an institution and it is considered legitimate to attack an institution, he notes. www.psu.edu /ur/2003/anticatholicism.html   (907 words)

adventist today Antagonism towards Roman Catholicism and the Papacy is not a peculiarly Seventh-day Adventist trait. At public debates, Catholicism was denounced as "a bigoted, a persecuting, and a superstitious religion. There is no crime in the calendar of infamy of which it has not been guilty." Such a religion was fundamentally incompatible with the American spirit and with American institutions. www.atoday.com /magazine/archive/1993/julaug1993/articles/AmericanAntiCatholicism.shtml   (854 words)

FideCogitActio: Praying with the Enemy? Anti-Catholicism in the United States Expressing non-Catholics’ confused pity, Robert, the law student, insists that Catholics are Christians, but he does “not believe that Catholicism is as biblical as Protestantism.” Leah, the disaffected former Catholic, regrets the lack of clear preaching in her parish. Elizabeth, a Baptist and an English major at UNC Chapel Hill, says her first impressions of Catholicism were “[m]onotonous chanting, kneeling, standing, sitting, and singing songs with no music….

The New Know-Nothings If, however, a Catholic rejects a fundamental tenet of the faith —something without which Catholicism ceases to be Catholicism, such as the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, or the universality of the Church—then one has ventured onto anti-Catholic ground. It becomes increasingly difficult to prove charges of anti-Catholicism when the meaning of Catholicism itself seems to be up for grabs; accordingly, Jenkins devotes significant energy to the contention that even soi-disant Catholics are not immune to charges of anti-Catholicism. Those who assail the Church are often assured impunity by claiming that present attacks on the Church are justified by centuries of Catholic oppression, exemplified by the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the conversion of indigenous peoples. www.amconmag.com /08_11_03/review.html   (1849 words)

Religious Anti-Catholicism A Internet ministry from St. Petersburg, Florida, they describe themselves as "A mega-site of Bible, Christian and religious information and studies." They have a densely written discussion of Catholicism in their section on cults which is notable for its careful attempt to establish that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon. Slick is of mixed minds as to whether Catholicism is a cult. Material on Catholicism can be found both in the section Answers About Religion, and in a separate section called Effective Evangelism. shakti.trincoll.edu /~dcruzuri/anti-catholic/religious.html   (4083 words)

Marie Corelli's Anti-Catholicism Many Englishmen of widely varying religious and political positions feared, disliked, and distrusted Roman Catholicism for a number of reasons, including Papal mis-government of large portions of Italy, the then-novel doctrine of Papal Infallibility, the Church's unwillingness to accept modern science, and the re-establishment of the Catholic hierarchy in England. Thus it is that Roman Catholicism became, and is still, merely a Christian form of Paganism which is made to pay successfully, just as the feasts and Saturnalia of ancient days were made to pay as spectacular and theatrical pastimes. Many Catholics and and non-Catholics alike were horrified by the declaration by Pope Pius IX's Syllabus of Errors (1865), which condemned as heretical the beliefs that Catholic countries could tolerate other religions, that any form of Protestantism could be a legitimate form of Christianity, and that freedom of opinion itself was valuable. www.victorianweb.org /authors/corelli/religion1.html   (1670 words)

Catholicism It was a laudatory review and though Kingsley displays his customary antipathy to Catholicism he agrees with Jameson's view that English Protestant culture's best defense against the incursions of Catholicism "is a cautious appropriation of Catholic culture's superior sense of the beautiful" (106). That is why Roman Catholicism’s celibacy provided strong evidence of that religion’s lack of manliness and its consequent falling away from appropriate godliness. Early in his life Kingsley himself had felt a pull towards Catholicism, a religion he later came to view as female-oriented and therefore unmanly. www2.bc.edu /~rappleb/Kingsley-Latest/KCatholicism.html   (3204 words)

Anti-Catholicism Furthermore, most of the converts to Catholicism were very committed Protestant Christians, and when they finally read what the Catholic Church had to say in her own defense, rather than Protestant misconceptions and misinformation, they were convinced by the truth that they found. Something in their Protestant experiences brought out a deeper feeling for Christ than their experiences in Catholicism, for whatever reason (perhaps the assurance of salvation) but that cannot be blamed on the Church. However, most of the converts to Protestantism were usually lapsed or nominal Catholics only, and are usually critical of the Catholic faith, unlike former Protestants, who speak highly of their former Communion. www.catholic-forum.com /members/catholictracts/tract00.html   (1212 words)

Catholic Apologetics Books by Dave Armstrong: <Twin Scourges: Thoughts on Anti-Catholicism and Theological Liberalism> The essential error and sin of anti-Catholicism is, therefore, the outrageous falsehood involved in denying that a Christian group is Christian. I accept the commonly-used definition of anti-Catholicism as the position which maintains that the Catholic Church is not Christian, or that the system of Catholic theology is not a Christian set of beliefs. I am happy to report that anti-Catholicism is a small minority position amongst Protestants and Eastern Orthodox; yet it remains an influential and vocal one. ic.net /~erasmus/RAZ467.HTM   (1585 words)

Catholic-Pages.com Discussion Forum - Anti-Catholicism a threat to all faiths, scholar s "If anyone says sex abuse is peculiar to Catholicism because of priestly celibacy, then why didn’t it lead to higher numbers in 1950, in 1960, in 1970, in 1990?" Jenkins said. He said the ’70s was a period wrought with societal changes that emphasized individual rights over earlier collective concerns at ending racism and poverty. He said the recent California Supreme Court ruling that Catholic Charities had to include birth control in its employee health coverage — something the Church by law was exempted from before — shows a serious disregard for matters guided by faith. www.catholic-pages.com /forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3863   (732 words)

Catholic Culture : Document Library : Anti-Catholicism: Politically Correct Bigotry of 1990's America It is therefore important that the misconception that Catholicism is synonymous with ineffective birth control is laid to rest.

The Papist Menace? Modern anti-Catholicism, Jenkins notes, derives its vigor from the Church's unique position as an international institution that presumes to intrude on political and cultural debates. Catholicism understands itself to be a comprehensive system, and acceptance of the doctrines of the Church has implications for how Catholics conduct both their spiritual and temporal affairs. www.theweeklystandard.com /Content/Public/Articles/000/000/002/799kciiq.asp   (619 words)

MT, His Times, Catholic Church The particular Protestant tradition in which Samuel Clemens was raised had a strong anti-Catholic bias, though his own relationship with Catholicism was complex. There's no Arthurian precedent for that plot development, but it does mirror fears about Catholicism that were widely shared in MT's America. MT himself asked one reviewer to avoid any mention of the book's "slurs at the church." Only one reviewer of MT's novel, a hostile critic in Boston, notices this element in its story, and he protests strongly, as a Protestant himself, against the "Protestant intolerance" he found in the text and, especially, the illustrations. etext.lib.virginia.edu /railton/yankee/cycathhp.html   (617 words)
