Your wrong on all counts:
Spanish Republicans(read Communists) during the Spanish Civil War killed thousands of nuns and Priests. Franco was a loyal son and defender of the Catholic Church. It was a big reason he lead the uprising against the so-called Republicans.
Actually Elizabeth I terrorized more Catholics than her father Henry VIII.
Hitler was not anti-Catholic but did order that Catholic priests in Poland who were thought to be potential leaders of a ressistance be arrested and in some cases executed. Otherwise as long as they were not actively opposing the Reich Priests were left alone.
Stalin did the same thing in countries that were catholic like Hungry, Poland, and Lithuania.
I never heard that the USA terroized or killed Catholics. Mormons yes, Catholics no.
Probably the champion catholic hater I'd say was Oliver Cromwell and his campaign of fire and death in Ireland.

It is only right to place the Jews first on the list of the Nazis' victims.
However millions of Catholics and other Christians were also killed. No one knows exactly how many. I've seen claims of up to 42,000,000 but I could not find documentation for this number.
One example, over 6 million Poles perished during WWII. That was 22% of the population of the country. Three million were Jews. Most of the rest were Catholics.
Also remember most the the allied military dead were Christians.
With love in Christ.
