On Living In A Protestant Country

Yes, we have freedom of religion, but, as one of my exes takes great pleasure in reminding me, it's a Protestant country, decidedly evangelical/fundamentalist Protestant. I'm sick of being bashed for being Catholic, but we know what Jesus said. People (non-Catholics) do indeed hate us, even people who call themselves Christian. Actually, in my experience, especially those who claim to be Christian. It varies from threats of physical violence to emotional and spiritual abuse. The behavior is anything but Christian, but these people are so brainwashed that they only believe what they've been fed without ever examining it. What are they going to think when they die and find that the Church they've spent their lives attacking is the one started by Christ himself? Vicious people shouldn't call themselves Christian. They bring shame to the name they're claiming. The land of the great religious freedom seems to only offer freedom to not be attacked to those who share the faith of the majority. American history is full of violence towards Catholics, even the politically sanctioned murder of innocent Catholic men, women, and children. What kind of people kill children? Watch what you label yourself. If you call yourself a Christian, you'd better live up to it.
