anti-Catholic propaganda

Anti-Catholic propaganda refers to misleading or negative information spread to foster distrust or hostility towards the Catholic Church and its followers. It often highlights historical events, such as the Inquisition or clergy scandals, exaggerating them to paint the Church in a bad light. This type of propaganda can also promote stereotypes about Catholic beliefs and practices, presenting them as outdated or harmful. It can stem from political, social, or religious conflicts, and its aim is often to undermine the Church's influence in society or to rally support against Catholic doctrine.
