This is technically true, although I don't know why Cernovich is bringing this up and I don't know the exact numbers on these weirdos. I have older Evangelical members of my family who really do believe Catholics are secret pagans (the Catholic Church is the rebooted Roman empire, blah blah, they really worship Mary, blah blah). These same family members are all in for Israel. I don't know how big this movement is though, and I have the suspicion this was mostly a boomer thing.
The part about saying Catholics worship idols is true.
The part about "believe Catholics deserve to be killed" is false to an absurd degree. The only reference that's vaguely reasonable is some evangelicals thinking Catholics aren't saved, but you can find Catholics saying the same about evangelicals.
Yeah. Catholics are damnclose to worshipping Mary, despite their protestations to the contrary. I mean, look at this stuff:
Hail holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Our life(?!), our sweetness, and our hope.(?!)
My Queen, My Mother(?!) I offer myself entirely to thee.(?!) I offer thee this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart,(?!) my whole being without reserve.(?!)
O Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to thee do I dedicate my body and soul,(?!) all my prayers(?!) and deeds
From now on my only desire is to do all things with thee, through thee, and for thee(?!).
And it goes on. Sure, they do often then go on to mention Jesus, but...
That said, nobody thinks Catholics deserve to die.
What's with the downvotes? I can't imagine any context where offering ones self to Mary, a fellow human being, the way you would to God makes any sense.
Praying for an intercession on behalf of a saint is not "worship." You ask them to pray to God for you. I swear this place isn't so far from its Reddit roots sometimes.

Because it's a lie. That's not the text of the Salve Regina, only the first few words are even close.
I said this before and it bears repeating here. Whatever that nonsense is or pretends to be, or whatever pamphlet he got it from, it is not Catholic.
