a comment in response to a youtube talk with Bishop Robert Barron on the prevalence of anti-Catholicism

Thank you Father for this wonderful video. I was raised in a Protestant Church, The Evangelical and Reformed (which is no more) which was anti Catholic but not nearly anti Catholic as many other Denominations. I became Catholic when I was 27 after going to Mass with a Catholic who asked me to. There when I was not going up for the Eucharist as I was Protestant Jesus asked me 3 times, "Al, would you refuse me?" and soon after that I became Catholic. I just say that to share my Protestant background. I think the anti Catholic prejudice stems from when the Protestants broke away from the Catholic Church and the incredible hostility at that time between the 2 groups which continues. Also at about the same time the philosophy of materialism began to take precedence in the country and is confirmed by the fact that materialistic science has attained religious status in this country and all of the Western world. The rituals of the Mass are seen as nonsense as also the Spiritual world is seen as nonsense.    ....Albert Nygren
