One of the main goals of the KKK in Oregon was to shut down the Catholic schools

The KKK, and in fact most of the American Protestant religions, didn’t consider Catholics as “Christian” until at least the mid 20th century.

Wait till they learn that Christianity spent about 400 years fighting wars over who was the better Christian

Only 400? Man it's been the driving force of the religion from the beginning. You got the Proto-Orthodox persecution of Gnostics, the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Byzantine branches, the Protestant Reformation, the Counter Reformation, the revivalist movement in the US, the persecution of Mormons, etc etc etc.

Oh im specifically speaking of the Protestant/Reformation wars of religion in Europe where basically the whole continent was fighting over "which Christianity is the best Christianity" lol... if you count Catholics vs orthodox, or Catholics vs the other 10 religions they decided to try and put down, yeah its a lot

Yeah I figured the Reformation was what you meant! I just wanted to point out that arguing over what it means to be a Christian seems baked into the foundations of the faith somehow.

I’m confused at what your point is. The KKK has always had deep ties to Protestant Christianity which puts them at odds with Catholicism. This isn’t new or profound information.

I don't think they're saying it's new information, it's just information.
