We’ve all seen it, and it has become more and more prevalent in recent years. I get the desire to dunk on WASPs, and that’s all in good fun as far as I’m concerned, but I’m getting really tired of reading these weird theological arguments from leftists who think that the problem is the ideological framework of Calvinism or whatever. No. The prots have institutional influence where you live, and that’s all there is to it. In the (many) countries where the Catholic church has institutional influence, they’re the bastards.
They’re the bastards where I live, but I’m not going to start blaming it on the dogma of transubstantiation or whatever, because that would be bad analysis.
i think people who were raised christian will just uncritically accept the prejudices that instilled, even after they leave the church. i have friends who were raised protestant and are now firmly anti-theist who will still refer to “christians and catholics” and genuinely don’t seem to know or fully believe that catholics are also christian.
