"If the World hates you, remember that it has hated Me first"
- The Lord Jesus Christ.

[dylanarmour]

I’m orthodox and some of my Protestant friends turn so hostile towards ancient worship it’s amazing.

[tjbiller]

I’m Lutheran and I think this anti-Catholic hate is outrageous, we Christians must stand together and fight this hate. many prayers

[Pratsg]

Anti catholic bigotry exists world-wide. I am from Kerala, India. It is rife here...the secular society, communist government, radical hindu and muslim elements all seek to mock, discredit and destroy the church. It is basically the powers and pricipalities of darkness taking on the true Church of our Lord all over the world. They mocked, tortured and crucified our Lord...we should not expect anythig less.

As an Anglican priest I have stood publicly side by side with my Catholic brothers and sisters in the face of Pride hysteria. It was an honor to hear them pray and respond in humility and meekness

[jessman]

I'm a protestant pastor. As I see it, we are facing bigotry of all conservative Christians. However, the Catholics take the brunt of the abuse because they are seen as the face of Christianity. I'm proud to say I stand with my Catholic friends and churches. Absolutely love your channel.

Even as an orthdox, seeing all those hates towards catholicism just makes my heart drop !

[anitra]

I converted to Catholicism after marrying my catholic husband. All of my anti-catholic beliefs were based on biased perspectives about what my Protestant faith expressed about what Catholics believed. During my formation process I was astounded to have had such a skewed perspective. I had a ton of questions and the answers weren’t always easy to digest. Catholic answers in conjunction with father Kirby’s lectures about adult formation on grace lily productions have been instrumental in assisting me through a proper formation that is able to answer the plethora of questions I had.
The well formed catholic content here on YouTube has really been a huge blessing to me. I am truly grateful for it.

We were told this was going to happen. That everyone under the sun, including other Christians, hate us just vindicates Christ's words and makes it undoubtful that we are truly Christ's Church. Being the target of such hatred is a badge of honor.

[ShepherdoftheForest]

Thank God I’m Catholic. Best decision I’ve ever made.

[CircusofPython]

The amount of random Catholic hate I encounter on a regular basis is sad. Add to that the random racism especially online and it feels like the walls keep closing in on me as a black Catholic. But I take heart in Jesus’ words in John 16:33 - “In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world”

For my undergraduate degree in religious studies and psychology I attended Tufts University and I remember i had a class called spritual development where the professor made a couple of derogatory comments towards Catholicism, as if it was no thing, as if no Catholic could be listening. For my graduate degree i attended Boston College graduate school of social work, a Catholic college, and remember students complaining about the crucifix on each classroom wall, saying it should be taken down. Wouldnt be surprised if they have been taken down at this point. It is ironic because those same students would preach how wrong it is to discriminate against Islam or other traditions.

[CarpDiemBaby]

It’s an honor for our sick twisted society to loathe our church to the degree that it does. I’m proud to be Catholic.

[Maussiegamer]

i'm protestant and its sickening to see the amount of "bAsED" memes made by protestants making fun of catholics and of catholics making fun of protestants

[terrykessinger]

This was interesting and very helpful. I am a protestant preparing for RCIA and I want to thank you for your channel.

[carissstewart]

When I was considered converting to the Catholic faith, a baptist friend insisted I read a book about priests who left the faith. I read the book and did a small amount of internet research into those men. At least half of the stories in that book were written by frauds. I told that to the friend and he just recommended a similar book on nuns instead. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[alan-muscat]

Recently, when I told two close Baptist friends (separately) that I had returned to the RCC, both raised a finger of each hand to form a cross in front of me. What? Did they think I had become a vampire? I really don't think they realized what they were doing. This is in the UK. Even now it shocks me.

[MarianMetanoia]

Excellent video, as always. As an Irish-Filipino Catholic from Baltimore, I loved hearing you recount the Catholic history of Maryland. I went to Mount de Sales Academy, an all-girls Dominican-run high school established in 1852. The school chapel is so beautiful. One peculiarity is that the stained glass windows face the rear of the school. This is because the Know Nothing party was highly active in the 1850s, and they used to destroy any “papist” buildings with visible stained glass.

[m.pixley]

As a graduate of a catholic college and all girls catholic high school, I've been repeatedly stereotyped especially by men as a "catholic schoolgirl type " and until recently took the stereotypes to heart. Further, on my job there were 3 separate instances by muslims, one a supervisor where I was informed openly that I was "too catholic to be trustworthy." Another told me that my cross necklace was inappropriate for work.

For my composition 1 class, I did a paper on Anti-Catholic hate and my own small amount of experience with it. I wish I had this video as a source. Thanks for this video Trent and your doing Gods work.
