The term "Anti-Catholic"

North Forest






Some people who read my articles have mentioned that they are offended by my use of the term 'anti-Catholic'. They don't like being called this.

I do not wish to offend anybody. I have tried to come up with another term but I have not been able to discover one.

I use the term anti-Catholic merely to refer to someone who rejects the truth-claims of the magisterium of the Catholic Church. That is all there is to it.

Some anti-Catholics completely misrepresent the teachings of the Catholic Church, but others have studied these teachings and understand them. They are anti-Catholic (in my usage of the term) merely because they disagree with them.
