GeorgiiMichael Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm bored and I want to hear some of the best anti-Catholic slurs you've heard. You can include the old standbys as well. I'll start off: Caesaropapism/Papocaesarism (I'm still not sure what was meant by these, but I felt that offense was intended) Incense-huffing Vaticanite Then there are the many variations of "fish eater" What have you all got?

Annie12 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've always heard papist is a slur, though I personally (to my memory) have never heard someone use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 nothing too inventive.... just variations of "you're from a family of 10? oh, so your parents must have been [i]good[/i] Catholics then, huh?" i have had the term "breeder" applied to me.

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I don't know about names being called, but I've been asked if I hate children (because of my discernement), if I hate men (also because of my discernment), if there is a reason I want to turn my back on the world (because of my discernment). Just a couple of insults. Haha. Oh, my atheist/agnostic grandma likes to rub the LCWR all over my face too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Most people I knew were too "[i]sophist[/i]icated" to use real slurs. They just used different phrases. "Oh, you're just a Public-Schooler." "Yeah, but you're a [i]girl, [/i]so..." "Missionary-Dater." Oh, wait, you're probably talking about ones I got for being Catholic, not from other Catholics, right? Goodie-Two-Shoes. Prude. Closed-Minded sheep. Brainwashed. Ignorant. There we go.

Annie12 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 There's also these, but while not all of them apply specifically to Catholics, Catholics are still labeled as such. "Homophobes" "Pedophiles" "Mary-worshipers" "Jesus freak" "Roman candle" "taig" "tim" "baby sprinkler" I'm also pretty sure I've heard "ash-head" or ash-face" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisa Marie Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I think Jesus Freak was appropriated as a compliment by Christians in the 90s. At least, that's what DC Talk would love me to believe.
