Persecution of Christians

Anti-Catholicism is hostility towards Catholics and opposition to the Catholic Church, its clergy, and its adherents. Wikipedia

Anti-Protestantismis bias, hatred or distrust against some or all branches of Protestantism and/or its followers. Wikipedia

Persecution The Church has suffered many kinds of persecution. But most deplorable of all persecutions have been those that Catholicism has suffered from other Christians. With regard to these it has to be considered that the Church herself has appealed to force, and that, not only in her own defense, but also, so it is objected, in unprovoked attack.catholic.com
