I replied:
Which group of people have burned innocent women at the stake for alleged "witchcraft"? Which group of people led the so-called "Holy" Crusades, killing whole townships of innocent people? Which group of people held the Inquisitions of innocent people, sentencing them to death for disagreeing with their views?
I'm not saying that prejudice against any modern-day religion is right, I'm just saying that when we hear of anti-Catholic prejudice, we should keep it in proportion to the pro-Catholic prejudice that has occurred.
