[Kate26607]

I am in the midst of converting to Catholicism (from being a non-practicing Jew) and will join an official class in a few months. However, I do know that many people have persuaded me to choose a Protestant sect instead. Why? Because anti-Catholicism is still rather pervasive in big cities that are largely Jewish and Protestant, and in the South. I know of many new Protestant sects that claim Catholicism is “worse” than Judaism because it takes the words and teachings of Christ and interprets them incorrectly. Additionally, the Catholic traditions and teachings (7 sacraments, the Trinity, etc.) are seen as not corresponding with the Bible. Also, with the influx of non-white immigrants into America, the secularization of America and the continued work of missionaries overseas, Catholicism is increasingly becoming an ethnic religion (Hispanic and Asian, specifically). This only adds to the anti-Catholic sentiments of some bigots.
