Protestants being thus impious enough to make liars of Jesus Christ, of the Holy Ghost, and of the Apostles, need we wonder if they continually slander Catholics, telling and believing worse absurdities about them than the heathens did? What is more absurd than to preach that Catholics worship stocks and stones for gods; set up pictures of Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and other saints, to pray to them, and put their confidence in them; that they adore a god of bread and wine; that their sins are forgiven by the priest, without repentance and amendment of life; that the pope or any other person can give leave to commit sin, or that for a sum of money the forgiveness of sins can be obtained ? To these and similar absurdities and slanders, we simply answer: "Cursed is he who believes in such absurdities and falsehoods, with which Protestants impiously charge the children of the Catholic Church. All those grievous transgressions are another source of their reprobation."
"But what faith can we learn from these false teachers when, in consequence of separating from the Church, they have no rule of faith? ... How often Calvin changed his opinions! And, during his life, Luther was constantly contradicting himself: on the single article of the Eucharist, he fell into thirty-three contradictions! A single contradiction is enough to show that they did not have the Spirit of God. "He cannot deny Himself" (II Timothy 2:13). In a word, take away the authority of the Church, and neither Divine Revelation nor natural reason itself is of any use, for each of them may be interpreted by every individual according to his own caprice ... Do they not see that from this accursed liberty of conscience has arisen the immense variety of heretical and atheistic sects? ... I repeat: if you take away obedience to the Church, there is no error which will not be embraced.

"Why are Jews hated on"? By that I'm assuming you meant why do people hate Jews...is that right? IMHO, it's because for over 5,000 years numerous societies and nations have tried their best to annhilate us and have never succeeded. We are well-educated and successful beyond our numbers. And we live happily without any belief in Jesus. We are like a living rebuke to those (Christian or Muslim) who say "my way is the only right way." Modern Jews have no problem with any other religion and would never tell anyone what they should believe and would never threaten anyone with eternal torment because they weren't Jews. Not being a Christian, I cannot comment on your other question.

christians get along with catholic and Jews are not hated by christians the only thing I will say is some catholics claim they are the only true christians which is rediculas. christian means follower of Christ and every one is welcome to follow him you do not need a pope or priest to get to know him if you read the bible.
