Anti-Catholicism Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Anti-Catholicism is religious opposition to the Roman Catholic Church. Traditional Anti-Catholicism (which originated during the Reformation) is promoted by Protestant Fundamentalists like Jack Chick while the new Secular Anti-Catholicism is promoted by Secular organisations. According to a report by the Catholic League, the Internet has many anti-catholic websites. Traditional Anti-Catholic works include Charles Chiniquy's "50 Years In The Church of Rome" in which he accuses Catholicism of being pagan. Such sentiments are common among some Protestant fundamentalist Christians, as they deny the Catholic Church to be a Christian church. Proponents often reference Scripture, such as the Book of Revelation, chapter 17 and 18, which depict the Pope as the Antichrist and the Catholic Church as being the "Whore of Babylon". Proponents of Anti-Catholicism also claim that the Mass is an abomination in the eyes of Jesus Christ. Many Anti-catholics also claim that Catholics worship Mary.An example of anti-Catholicism is found in some of the tracts by noted anti-Catholic and comic book evangelist Jack Chick, including his "Alberto" series. These tracts accuse the papacy of using the Jesuits to incite revolutions all over the world, and claim that the papacy was the driving force behind Muhammad and helped both Communism and National Socialism to come to power. One of these tracts is "Are Roman Catholics Christians?" which claims that the Catholic Church's doctrines are against God.While these views are not widely held, several Catholic organisations continue to battle anti-Catholic sentiment.
