Yeah, I don’t think many catholics realize how close they are to the top of the list after Muslims, gays, and trans people. Atheists might be ahead of Catholics but honestly it might be a wash. Protestants seriously hate them, I got fed a steady drip of anti-Catholic sentiment as a baby Calvinist here in BC.
As someone who grew up catholic, I really don’t know how. Catholic school was very clear about how right wing populism in the US was frequently super anti catholic to the point of hate crimes. And it’s not like protestants are great at hiding the contempt
If you want to know what Calvin was about, look into histories of the time when his followers imposed their insane misrule on Geneva. There were levels of fanaticism and totalitarianism that make the Taliban look like reasonable people, people being burned alive over micro-level sectarian grudges, corruption and extreme incompetence.
