I said this to my Dad before and drilled me how Catholics are not Christian and my Mum will say the same.

You're probably right, my parents are crazy in my eyes. How they got married at all is a "miracle" lol

Wonder who the guy on the Catholics' cross is then

Probably not Republican White Jesus, which is why some would consider them not Christian.

Absolutely guessing. I'm not an American so these weirdo Republicans don't make sense to me.

That’s a common lie Protestant pastors tell their congregations in order to create an enmity between their people and Catholics. They do it for other Christian denominations too, like Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Seventh Day Adventists.

Can’t have their income source go to a competing church, now can they?

Dafuq are protestants like in the USA? Protestants in Europe are usually quite liberal and do not antagonise any other faith.

Protestants are generally militantly conservative in America. Look into Southern Baptists for an example.

Yeah - what SaintOwlPizza is saying is an extremely common belief in the American South.

A lot of Bircher types were set off by the election of JFK. There were people who were genuinely concerned he was controlled by the pope. The current iteration of the KKK is about the least anti-Catholic it has ever been, historically they were extremely vocal advocates in favor of public education and not having religion in schools solely due to the popularity of Catholic schools.

I definitely heard things very similar to what OwlPizza’s family said in Sunday school.
