Answer 1

Nothing. Hate is a wasted energy that will only harm the one who hate, not the one who is supposedly hated.

Hate is like a person who takes poison, and expect the other person to die.

Answer 2

As previously stated, Hate is a strong word. There are certain aspects of Catholicism that I disagree with and there are those that I respect. The one I have the most problem with is the infallibility of the pope and more directly in the parishes, the priest. If it were not taught that 'Father' is always right, the whole pedophile problem might not have gotten so out of hand. Things like this have happened in Protestant churches and the congregation/denomination turned the offending 'leader/pastor/reverend' over to the authorities and tried to heal the damage. I find fault with the complete and utter failure to acknowledge that not only 'could this could have happened in the Catholic church, but it it.

Answer 3

Hate is a powerful word, which is the antithesis of Love. I prefer to avoid the former while fostering the latter. But be that as it may, allow me to clarify my response to your important question.

I have nothing against the Catholics per se, but I do denounce the Roman Catholic Church and its clergy for all the lies, falsehoods, and sins committed and perpetrated against its own faithful, and against all of humanity since its inception.

It is true that there are many Catholics who prefer to be SHIELDED from, or remain IN DENIAL of, certain truths about the Church's errant ways, misdeeds, and even crimes. Instead, because of pride or arrogance, they look the other way and they feel compelled to DEFEND THE CHURCH and its clergy to no end. Some are even willing to die for such a cause. Yet, unfortunately, the silent majority among the faithful remain non-committal and quiet about these issues.

What some Catholics fail to recognize is that they are BEING USED as pawns to perpetuate these lies, FALSE DOCTRINES, and even hatred [to non-members] that have been indoctrinated by the Church for generations and generations now. We know that when a lie is repeated enough times, it ends up becoming someone's perception of the truth.

It is a sad commentary that many Catholic faithful have DIVERTED their FAITH TO THE CHURCH somehow --maybe because of the FEAR instilled in them to NEVER QUESTION the Church at all-- rather than to have faith in God and the teachings in the Sacred Scriptures. And, in so doing, they only fulfill the prophecy of becoming the "blind being led by the blind" coming to fruition.

It is high time for Catholics to open and read the Bible. It is time for Catholics to question the teachings and practices of the Church. It is time to wake up and see the light, to see the errors of the Church's ways and, ultimately, to decide whether or not they should keep their faith on the Church and its traditions... or in God.

Peace be with you.

Answer 4

Hate is too strong a word ,dislike about .
I have a friend who is Catholic that is how he was brought up so I have nothing against him.
They seem like one big clique.
They owe a lot to Attila the Hun.
They think they are the only ones that matter.
They conquered people to have their property and wealth in the name of the Lord.
Not much different than many others I suppose.
Unless your a alter boy then I think you get it in the end.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what kind of answers you expect to get from such an inflammatory question.

There are some things I disagree with in Catholic theology, but never would I hate them.

Regards

Answer 6

The same thing I hate about some Protestants: smugness, authoritarianism, an inability to conceive that there are other valid ways to approach God than theirs, excessive, pharisaical piety combined with a complete disinterest in promoting social justice, and an incomprehensible pride in their ignorance of their own history and doctrines. Fortunately, not all Catholics are like that.

Answer 7

They are all just jealous since us Catholics typically get to choose one of 4 masses, each less than an hour (usually), 3 on Sunday and one Saturday evening. So we can go out Saturday night and Party Hardy and sleep in on Sunday mornings. We can sin all week, go to confession, then start over clean again on Monday!
Unlike many others, who one have only time to go, stay for two hours, and have to go twice a week or they will go to hell.
And they can't drink unless they go stand in a closet. Or cuss, or have sex except for procreation. No wonder so many have large families.

No wonder they hate us. We have the good life and theirs sucks.

Answer 8

I presume you are referring to the Roman Church. It is certainly not universal which is what Catholic means. I do not hate this church or its members but I seriously object to its claim to be the only true church, and papal supremacy, based on Matthew16:18: - here Christ calls Peter by the name Rock on which Christ is apparently going to build his church. The Greek in this verse calls Peter 'Petros' but uses a slightly different word for the rock (petra) on which the church is to be built. Rome argues that 'Petros' is the masculine form of the feminine noun 'petra' and therefore means the same thing, Peter is that rock.
However closer examination of all relevant texts in Syriac, Aramaic and Greek, showing the usage of these words, indicates that the correct understanding of this verse is : “You are 'Petros' (a movable stone) and upon this 'petra' (a large massive rock) I will build my church".
The Church of Rome bases itself on a misinterpretation of Scripture and a falsely reconstructed Aramaic/Syriac text, ignoring the distinctions in the Aramaic language.

Answer 9

I hate that there aren't more of us. I became Catholic about fifteen years ago and I got to experience the hate first hand. Wow....there are a lot of haters out there.

Answer 10

Now, What kind of person ask such a question? I have a lot of friends that are Catholic. Maybe I don't agree with all of their beliefs but that doesn't make them any less of a friend. So what kind of answer are you really looking for?

Answer 11

Nothing. My entire birth family is Catholic and I respect them tremendously. I don't hate everything about the Church. I truly dislike lying/covering up those priests who have molested children, it has caused a lot of damage to the church and to those who have suffered abuse.
