I'm Catholic. I remember people saying that...

Catholics were all rich.
Catholics were all Republicans.

I am and not now nor have I ever been rich (not in terms of money that =
is). But the second item really hurt, because, while my parents both =
voted Republican, I have always voted for the Pope... uh... er...

And no, Doug, I don't eat babies. I Gave them up for Lent.

  I see.  Well, here are some of the things I've heard about Catholics =
all *my* life.  Please bear in mind, of course, that I heard them from =
Southern Baptists:

  Catholics have to pay a dollar to sit in the church pew.
  Catholics worship idols.
  Catholics are obliged to kiss the Pope's toe.
  The Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon.
  The Exorcist really, truly happened.  The devil is forever plaguing =
small Catholic girls with bad skin, foul language, and projectile =
vomiting.
