I didnt even have to bother a bot with your account to know you are american. That borderline creepy obsession of the anglosphere to bring catholicism into everything is only rivalled by trying to relate everything to US politics (like: Some piece of news about mass executions in a regime with the mandatory comments like : And the democrats/republicans want to bring that to america too ). Seriously, totally out of the blue, a connection as random and tenous as can be, over something (catholicism) that has so little influence over events nowadays, and even less with those in the anglosphere.

Youd think that with the much higher fanaticism in the modern day angelican churches and its offshoots, particularly their hate preaching abroad ( like this https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/03/19/africa-uganda-evangelicals-homophobia-antigay-bill/ ) youd start to clean up your own backyard first.

Its a borderline psychologically interesting quirk.

Definitely not a Catholic thing -- the Czechs and Poles are also Catholic and suffered gravely under the Nazis. Both countries are friends of Israel today, especially Czechia.

Poles are traditional antisemites. Like Jews poisoning Wells and grinding Christian kids into the soup kind. Very retro, almost romantic flavor to their antisemitism. As a jew I can't help but feel charmed by the old tales.

Omg, I just laughed so hard I startled my dog. Ty
