Foxy,
Because your childhood memories were/are flawed especially the ridiculous claim that Catholics were not to associate with Protestants.
This is so ridiculous as to be laughable, as I said what about mixed marriages, where the Church approved association, of the most intimate kind, with a Protestant.
Or children associating with a Protestant parent.
What about Protestant children at Catholic schools?
Did they have a special place in the playground to stop fraternisation?

As for hatred being preached against non-Catholics, where is the evidence in the form of Protestant backlash?
There is none.

Is Mise,

It seems that you don't have any Catholic friends
who grew up in Australia being educated by the
Sisters of Mercy or the Christian Brothers.

Schoolgirl reminiscences of humans in the Catholic school and church structure are irrelevant to the Bible and human disregard for it.

ttbn,

Actually it was/is very relevant due to the
interpretations of the Bible that some were taught
and resulted in their biased attitudes being passed
on to other generations. It also resulted in many
leaving the church in large numbers - including
quite a few - priests and nuns.

I remember reading decades ago the book:

"A Modern Priest Looks At His Outdated Church,"
written by Father James Kavanaugh.

It caused great controversy in the 1970s.
Look it up on the web. It confirms that -
"Kavanaugh eloquently appealed to his Church
to surrender its antiquated abusive position
to become a community of compassion and love."

Father Kavanaugh ended up leaving the Church.

This thread is not even about the Catholic church: it's about the Anglican Church. Will that bring you out from under your rock again?
