There's a kook on Tweety who is saying Hillary is anti-papist.

1. ok. I had to look up the word.

The word gained currency during the English Reformation, as it was used to denote a person whose loyalties were to the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, rather than to the Church of England. Attested from 1534, papist derives (through Middle French) from Latin papa, meaning "Pope".
Papist - Wikipedia

2. I'm watching Carter Page reporting alternative facts

He seems to feel that there is anti-catholic sentiment in the government.

Oh, and the Russians are sadly maligned and really nice people.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. There was a lot of anti-papism at the turn of the century

The nineteenth century.

7. Make America Great Again

He told everyone right up front he wanted to roll the clock back. I didn't realize how far back they were looking to go.

[YCHDT]

6. Right, the Russians can do no wrong !!! Support Russia first blame America last type of crap !!

[Scurrilous]

12. Anti-Catholics in government?

Certainly not the Supreme Court.

[democratisphere]

3. Fake news is swirling around the entire interview.

Carter Page snickers way to much about everything he is asked about by Chris. Everything of substance is off the record blah, blah, blah. What a fraud.

[YCHDT]

4. Mathews got Page to admit where his loyalties lie and its not with America !! Page is VERY VERY ...

... sympathetic to the Russian view of history

[dhol82]

8. Make that very, very, very, very, VERY sympathetic to the Russian view of history.

One does have to question where his loyalties lie.

9. I thought I read earlier in the year that Carter Page is supposed to be some

kind of genius consultant. He just always comes of to me as some kind of nit wit. He's had quite a period of time since Chris Hayes interview to come up with some kind of plausible story and this is the best he can come up with? No wonder he came under FBI/CIA scrutiny long before this campaign. Every time he opens his mouth he creates more and more suspicion that he is in fact a Russian operative.

10. God SAVE me from Carter Page.

I can't figure out I'd MSNBC loves him so much because he's a lunatic or what. I'm sure there'll be fallout from that little bit of insanity.

11. know nothings, KKK, evangelical right

If he is looking for anti-papist he is looking at people of the wrong ideology.

13. 1960 There was a lot of anti-papism

The Kennedy Nixon contest.
We were told if Kennedy won, the Pope would move to Washington and rule the country.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. That's fifty seven years ago.

[left-of-center2012]

15. Your math is correct

But was there a point?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. The point is anti-papism is no longer a significant problem in twenty first century America.

[leftstreet]

17. Which makes this kook's statements even stranger

LOL Page is, what, in his 40s? What makes him think this anti-papist claim (omg !!) would make any difference

The op is correct. Kook.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. That was the whole point of the thread.

Al Smith and John Kennedy were victims of anti-papism in their electoral campaign but that was a long time ago and the latter overcame it any way as we progressed, even then.

Nobody is criticizing Page because he's Catholic.

[left-of-center2012]

18. I didn't say it is

I was simply recalling a memory from my past.

I also recall when our minister preached against a Catholic President,
some people git up and walked out.

21. JFK Speech on Separation of Church & State (1960)

[left-of-center2012]

22. Yes. I am familiar with that

Good day, Sir.

[jpak]

20. I still don't understand what he has against our anti-potpourri government

Some folks just can't stand the smell...

23. Pope Francis on most issues is closer to a liberal Democrat than a Republican

Everyone noted that Pope Francis looked far happier meeting President Obama (and Secretary Kerry and VP Biden) than he did meeting Donald Trump. Obviously, Trump ignored the encyclical on the environment (including climate change) that the Pope gave him. ( I don't think Hillary Clinton met with Pope Francis but I assume his reaction would be like his reaction to the Obama team)

Anti papist means at its root against the Pope - even extended to against the Catholic Church, he is the head of the church.
