Why so many Catholics Hate?

Believe it or not, Catholics are Christians. the Nicene Creed, which sums up everything that Catholics believe, said that
  "… We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, only Son of God, born of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. On the third day he rose
  according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. And will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will never end … "
  well, that said, why so much hatred of others, especially other Christians?
  and because I can see this comment coming, ill say that Catholics do not worship Mary or the Saints. recognize as powerful intercessors on our behalf, so we ask you to pray to God for us
  and dont worship the Pope either. it is simply a spiritual leader for us on earth

    "There is more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive as the Catholic Church."

  4. Yamanka™ [StraightTalk Express] says:

    I have no idea! Most people do not understand religion. I think it's funny because I am Catholic and people come to me telling me why being Catholic is wrong and how can I worship and then return the entire religion with the Bible,

  5. Tiffany says:

    Not that we hate you … certainly do not.
      Where we differ is in the belief that praying to Mary and to confess their sins to a man they call father .. That man can not redeem you or grant you any forgiveness. I guess I just do not understand ..
    My best friend is Catholic.
      We pray directly to Jesus when he died on the cross, the curtain of the city apart … You know the story think his Mat: 27 51

  8. St Thecla says:

    Many groups are hated. Atheism, for example. People disagree with you, so that 'hate' you. I would not worry about them. It is shallow.

  9. soxul says:

    For the same reasons that nobody hates anybody, fear and ignorance.
      Anyone who takes the time to learn about people hate or fear often stop hating and fearing them.
      With love in Christ.

  14. Adam (of the wired) says:

    The deceived by Satan, hatred of the Church founded by Jesus Christ.

  15. Smeg says:

    We Catholics would never say to non-Catholic Christians what they believe, but accept their assertions of their beliefs, but, unlike the Catholic faith, usually no source to verify their beliefs as it is with Catholics, where one can go to catechesis and see exactly what Catholics believe. Therefore, in this modern era of instant information through the computer, there is no excuse if you have a false testimony against the Church of Christ and the faithful. These actions must, if one uses reason, prevarification intentional. There is simply no other explanation, other than laziness. In fact right when he says that one can be Catholic wannabe but probably not the deliberate desire, but the result of drawing Holy Spirit to the Church of Christ and stirring up trouble in your soul disobedient. His fighting spirit tells them to find fault with the Church of Christ, even when it is created in his own imagination, or is apparent that the original church and all that Christ has created is the true Church, with all the promises that Christ gave His Church. Obviously, if there is delivered to these facts, then it would be in the will of God and obedient to the one true God. It seems that ignoring this obvious conclusion is illustrated by their unwillingness to even check out their beliefs about the Catholic Church to know if their imagined faults some accuracy. What will happen, as thousands can testify who have come home to his Church is that he hated and spoke out against is not at all the Catholic Church, but an enemy of his own creation.
      The question is asked, "realize the Protestants look to their pastors as we Catholics with our priests" This is a very good question and points to a key difference in the leadership of the Protestant churches, in contrast to Catholic churches. Many times in the Protestant churches there is no supervision of non-denominational churches calls that are becoming so popular. This allows all sorts of false teaching and apostasy. Any minister can teach you everything you want without hindrance. Often the pastors of these churches have no training at all in understanding the Bible and the use of a methodology for proof text in the presentation of their doctrines to their congregations frequently causes errors heretical. Only the congregation has anything resembling oversight, but more often put blind faith in their pastors, really puts them on pedestals representing a man of God. Congregations imagine their pastors to be free from sin and example of justice. This is why there was a scandal when they fail and sinful humanity is revealed. Their churches actually have recourse to the justice of his pastor for his veracity as a church. Since it is a man of the church, where else can that truth and justice come? Therefore, when the Catholic Church teaches that evil exists is nowhere else for these faithful to appeal to the truth as their confidence in their pastor.
      We Catholics are our priests and bishops in different ways. The Church teaches that the priest is a servant of the people and the bishop is the chief pastor and delivery of the spiritual needs of the flock through the Sacraments. The priest reminded the congregation of our lack of righteousness, as a person and a child of God, confessing our congregations that we too are sinners in thought, word and deed. If there was a tendency for the congregation to believe that the priest is godlier or have less than a sinful nature that confession should remove all doubt. There is no pretension in a priest to have one that is fairer or less tempted by sin. If a pastor confessed his sins to the congregation, even in a general sense, like the priests who probably would be released from his position. The Catholic Church, of course, receives the righteousness of Christ and the truth of his promises and not the example of men inherently sinful. In the Catholic Church is not necessary or even expected that the priest would be any different than anyone else in the tendency to be tempted into sin. For example, the sacraments are equally valid from a sinful priest, as a most pious priest, because the holiness of the sacraments are the result of Christ's righteousness and not the priest as the priest acts "in persona Christi" where justice can never be doubted.
      These fundamental differences are in how the clergy perceived Catholic and Protestant communities, I think because the Protestant pastors are perceived as fair, saints and holy men there is greater opportunity for the false teaching that leads to heresy and apostasy. The congregation is hungry for the Word of God and is often filtered through the unique interpretation of the theology of a man. Because of this is that it is not surprising that there are thousands of different sects within Protestantism schismatic each with its own truth and heresy. Trust only those parishioners have in their pastor, not a church founded by Christ with its promise of accuracy.
      Christ used the vernacular reads:
      On this rock I will build my Church speaks to San Pedro.
      Christ is the cornerstone and the 12 disciples are the basis
      He says that He is with His Church
      He says the church will last until the Parousia
      He says the church will be free of apostasy
      He says that He is with His Church for all time and does so by sending the Holy Spirit to guide the Church and to share his Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity with His Church through His miracle of the Eucharist.
      He said that His Church is the "bulwark and foundation of truth."
      Can a pastor from making such promises to start his church? Of course, not just promises of Christ are truthfully, regardless of intent or sincerity of any man.
      As Catholics we are commanded to love others. We are not only to love those who love us or the Church but also our enemies. This is one of the hardest lessons in all of Scripture, because it goes against our natural tendencies of our being sinful to hate. We are called to pray for these people who hate us and His church and desire the same blessings we receive. But, more importantly, we pray that God will take place and that may come into full communion with the Church by sharing the fullness of faith, worship and truth that Catholics received in his church.
      In Christ

  16. cristoig says:

    This is because Jesus himself told us that many do not. Fortunately, we know that God's Church began on the shoulders of San Pedro … our first pope.
      Other reasons is because our church is based on Sacred Tradition and the Bible. So many Protestants believe in Sola Scriptura side, yet not one has been able to show me a verse in Scripture that defines that the Bible is the sole authority of the lessons that arise. Furthermore, most do not realize it was the Catholic Church that gave the world the Bible. As such, the Protestant Christians must recognize that the Church would not exist without the Catholic Church. So basically, the Protestants are Catholics who have drifted away from the only true Mother Church …
      These are reasons why people hate the Catholic Church … because they have the truth in its purest form … of Jesus to the Apostles, the Pope current day.

    I think it's just as well in America
      I was raised Catholic (in Australia) and I've never hated Catholics know .. until I started going on yahoo answers and see all the questions.
      its stupid because the differences between Catholics and Protestants are quite minute compared to all the things they have in common. simply must get over it … thetruly if you believe in a God of love who must believe that God wouldnt punish someone for believing in something slightly different from another person .. otherwise, have become more clear!

  18. Bjorn says:

    The Nicene Creed in the Catholic Bible is superior to Scripture. I think it's bloody history. Like many Catholics have died in wars and were really all these saints?
      How many people died after being burned in agony tied to a stake? How many people were tortured in the name of heresy?
      Jesus or Matthew, Paul, John or any disciple of Christ's first century who consented to the history of Catholicism and the authority of their parents?
      The Pope in 1933, including an agreement with Adolf Hitler on behalf of the Catholic Church.
      I doubt it.
      The claim that Peter is the first pope is a misinterpretation of Scripture. The verse was talking about Jesus himself is the rock mass in the church.
      But Catholics are hated around the world. The Pope has his group of political figures in the world who use it for their purposes. The pope is important for political control of nations, because the Pope is ready to fulfill your orders.

  19. Secularly Speaking says:

    It is possible to love someone, but I hate what they believe.
      I love you, but I like Catholicism, Catholicism, because it leads to eternal torment in hell, because Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9).

  20. David says:

    the Catholic Church already has its own god damned called Mary, Queen of catholosism that really is the mother of all false religions

  21. forever for Him says:

    no doubt God, Get Over It

  22. Alex says:

    You may want to rethink doing something like this. You call yourself a Christian and yet, open a can of worms by saying, "Why so much hate …. especially (from) other Christians? "You're going to put people on the defense right there.
      Protestants do not hate Catholics. We just think that you choose the traditions of men on the doctrine of God as stated in the Bible.
      No one can intercede between God and us, apart from Jesus. That's one thing there that teaches that Catholicism is not biblical.
      Do not create problems, dear.
