Anti-Catholicism is as American as apple pie a la mode, chocolate malts, diet Pepsi, and silly nostalgia at the beginning of baseball season. No Catholic who has to work in the higher media, the upper academy, or the New York publishing world has any doubts about its existence.
Most American Catholics rarely encounter it in their daily lives, so they do not take it seriously. Not enough Catholics suffer because of it for there ever to be a serious battle against it.
Therefore, anti-Catholicism will persist in American life indefinitely, giving lie to the claim that Americans have left prejudice and discrimination behind.
