Because, I'm being totally honest here, most Catholics are likely ignorant of the Bible.
They are taught these things from their authority figures and don't question it because that's all they've ever known. My grandfather has explained these things to Catholics before and converted them to Christians, they were genuinely shocked because they had no idea, period, even after being Catholics their entire lives.
I suppose these kinds of things are holdovers from their entire history. They don't want the common person to know what the Bible actually says, or else they'd be out of jobs.
The catholics being raised in ignorance is no surprise, but the sheer audacity of the leftist dimwits railing against christianity without ever having read the books or history, yet pretending intellectual superiority, is what gets me worse.
Leftists are practically a different story if I'm being honest.
The clown in question here doesn't even know the difference between Catholics and Christians, and conflates the two. Its pretty embarrassing because its so basic that its not even funny.
Its not like its something utterly unfamiliar to them either like Muslim schisms across the world or something. Literally, America was founded by Puritans escaping religious persecution, and the founding fathers created a separation of church and state here to avoid the issues that came with what the Catholic Church did with its power. They did not want a state religion. The practically sacrosanct values of freedom and individual autonomy came as a result of Protestantism's effect.
America is a largely protestant nation, and much of Europe changed immensely after the religious wars too. This is built into the history and culture of the nations and continents. Its the reason why this country is the way it is today (not the leftist decline mind you, I'm talking about the moral and cultural foundations in place codified in law that prevent this country from collapsing from such things)
The thing that baffles me is that I grew up in a leftist city of a leftist state and even then most of what you just said was taught in history in public school. I genuinely do not understand how so many people don't remember or comprehend a single bit of that.
