Religeous intolerance

I wonder how many on here would accept the ridiculing of the Christian faith practised by many who use his name and his book to promote money making products and ridiculing films.films. Guess that’s acceptable, but ooh no don’t use Islam as the same. Hypocrites comes to mind. As for mob rule, well being allowed to get away with threats against someone’s life, that is despicable and those involved should have been arrested.

I'm shocked that there is currently an active thread on this forum that's openly anti Catholic. It's clearly caused huge offense and distress to several posters but the thread remains. If, every time the word "Catholic" had been used, the word "Islam" had been used instead, it would have been removed days ago.

I am one of those posters who said I thought that there was an anti Catholic tone from some on the aforementioned thread.
Live and let live!

I am a Catholic who is secure enough not to be offended.

How lovely for you.

I couldn’t disagree more - all religions are not equal. They are not equal in how they treat women, gay people, disabled, people and poc for one thing. But it’s not even as simple as one religion having better standards than another but about how the values of different religions measure upto the values of the society in which children are being brought up. Beliefs about blasphemy for example need to be examined ( as I think this teacher was doing) in the context of freedom of speech and what that means. It also means examining what type of behaviour is acceptable ( never mind legal) if you believe someone has blasphemed your religion - beheading, shooting?

Excellent post ????

This is true.
I was surprised by some of the comments on it. I had thought that the anti-Catholic feelings had gone away years ago, but apparently not.

You are indeed fortunate. Have experienced blatant anti Catholic bigotry and sectarianism first hand? I have.
