Please post the link. I might have some time this afternoon. Thanks.

Sadly it has. I think things had gotten a lot better since the 60s.
But over the last week it seems like the anti-Catholic crowd got the green light to come out of the closet in full force, at least online.

Many will even say Catholicism did not begin until Constantine started it. 🙄

In case there has been any confusion on the part of Non-Catholics:

Catholicism has had one continuous straight line of succession of Popes, from St. Peter to Pope Leo XIV.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.
God Bless.

❤️ Catholicism is Beautiful!
