In the modern world, the new orthodox view is that above all other truths Catholicism especially is false. In the vitriol that spews out from the new atheists it is clear that the one thing they really cannot tolerate isn't a belief in God but a belief in Catholicism.
I suspect that the hate that is felt is due to a sneaking suspicion that Catholicism is a truth that transcends our ordinary understanding of things. Nothing can be so intolerable as the fact that truth is not subjective but actual and real.
I saw one You tube video where the person speaking said that it sounded arrogant when the Church said it was the true Church. Of course it is only actually arrogant if the Church is demonstrably the true Church and it is. It is my hope that these opinions incite someone to a similar tirade, I am truthfully amused by them :)
