"Catholics hated by the Ku Klux Klan"
We've heard the conspiracy theories concerning Jessie James' prolonged career as a robber due to his supposed attachment to a "Secret Society" that preserved its members; therefore, James and his gang were like Long Duk Dong (proper spelling BTW), in that they had Everlast due to an underground force of enslaving power--it possibly known as: Knights of the Golden Circle.
Are these hate groups? Like the KKK? Regardless, people will always say shit about somebody else if not haunted by the Holy Spirit, and even then it can be theoretically negative--if the truth is truly nasty.
Everybody suffers. Even the evil-doers. The greedy. The proud. The pretentious pricks of American Society. Who cares. Make your hearts like gold. And believe what you believe in; moreover, know what you believe in.
Having attended Southern Baptist School for 3 years, as a Baptized Catholic, I saw the look of macabre horror on the faces of the teachers and preachers when mentioning the Virgin Mary--as if she was and is a witch. Or that ALL of Her apparitions are demonic. Even Saint Francis saw the Adversary in Christ's form. Jack Burton would say: "Never can tell." Indeed, test most spirits.
Anyway, to those Southern Baptists, and yes, you love the King James Bible and the glory of Zion--I fully understand and respect that. But be reminded of LUKE'S GOSPEL, the Virgin Mother knowing: "For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed." 2 thousand years later--and She's still correct, sir!!!
Some Indiana Jones-like theologians even intellectually surmised that Mary Herself penned the Gospel, or that the physician Luke needed Her personal story of meeting the Arch-Angel Gabriel.
Just know: People hate everybody!!! Ask the Russians from WW2 and the many millions of innocent souls they lost, or the Jews and their tortured state. You are not the only one in a state of suffering. And possibly, others suffer even more.
