The Last Acceptable Prejudice
People are best left to come freely to their beliefs through thoughtful introspection, research and inquiry. To choose for themselves what to believe and to be able to gather true information from many sources on the subjects of their inquiry including from that source subject itself (which is often the one place most fail to be willing to openly and honestly study or examine. This is equivalent to propose oneself as an "expert" chemist without ever studying more than a fifth-grade science book, if that.)

Bigotry is always wrong. Especially when encompassed by childish characterizations, to say the least, informed by what seems to be a sort of half-understood, grade-school catechism version of Christianity combined with an almost willful reluctance to explore theology with any kind of seriousness. Many also make the mistake of lumping their often misinformed ideas of Catholic beliefs and theology with other versions of Christianity, which is as severely flawed as lumping baseball rules in with football rules. Yes, they're both sports, but the differences are profound and significant.

The video also addresses directly the sex abuse scandals which are real and devastating.





from the comments:
" i was talking to a kid at work about God.he said he was atheist and added that it perplexed him how Christianity is the one religion that it is okay to bash while people are very careful to be politically correct regarding other faiths...i said maybe the devil attacks it because its real..."

"Insult Jews, Gays, or Muslims, it is wrong (and much of the time it can be), insult Catholics, it's open season."

Here is how I see it

Jews - too much history to truly, openly mock (but people are losing their inhibitions)

Gays - are you kidding? Critisize homosexuality and you may as well announce you're a necrophiliac or say you have a bomb on an airliner.

Muslims - they will kill you

Christianity - that is where the money is. Also, white people.

If one is a white male Catholic, it is open season to be hated and reviled openly almost everywhere in the world today with no repercussions or consequences. Most people will only cheer you on as if you were at an old-style lynching--shows how revolting the hatred of Catholics really is today, even by many other 'christians.' Oh well, we have to say: "forgive them for they know not what they do." Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
