Anti-Catholic feelings

[StrictlyKatty]

I'm pretty exhuasted right now with all the Anti-Catholic feeling on MN

A week never seems to go by without a thread about how Catholics should all feels ashamed about abuse (which we all do!) and how the Catholic Church should disband, that all Priests are kiddy fiddlers etc

Then, which really drives me mad, people with their threads about how to fake religion to get into Catholic school

There is now a thread about how frigging funny it is to see the Pope on a condom. I do wonder how funny people would find Mohammad on a sauasge... not very is my bet! Why can't respect for peoples religion be extended to Catholics?

I just wish people would understand that while noone feels that the RC church doesn't have a lot to apologise for it is not 100% rotten, the Pope isn't a Nazi and not every Priest signed up to spend time alone with little boys

DH thinks I should rise above it, but it hurts me! It has just made me cry seeing all the horrible things people have said about the church today.
Am I alone

CatholicConvert: The most articulate yet, and I couldn't agree more.

Strictlykatty. Have you not realised it's open season on Christians?

Christians and I'm one of them are being persecuted in this country. People say things on Mumsnet about Christians they would never say about Muslims.
Many on this site are VERY ignorant about the abuse of children within the Catholic Church.
Most of the abuse of children happened many years ago, and in some cases 30 years ago.
I can only speak about Ireland and the abuse that was perpetuated there.In Ireland the 'Father' was a very powerful person in a village or a town. Most did not dare speak out against them, even if they did know about abuse. This is not to say that Catholics are complicit in any abuse.
Why are you bothered about what others say about you taking your child to mass? Good for you, you are giving him some moral guidance, sadly lacking today! I've just taken my children to church today, and if anyone does not like the church or it's views, they can sod off!

Catholicconvert. Very well written unlike my rant!

After reading that I think I will convert from CofE.
