"Pro" or "Anti"?

Someone told me recently about a Lutheran who referred to his tradition as "catholic-lite". I have heard it before, but it made me wonder about that phrase. I recall a Baptist one time telling me that the congregation he belonged to had a "very clear stance against Catholicism". Now, take those two references together and let me rephrase their terminology.

I would call Baptists (and others on that end of the spectrum of protestantism) "anti-Catholic", and Lutherans (and others on that end of the spectrum of protestantism) "anti-Catholic lite". Since neither the Lutherans or the Baptists (or any other protestant denomination for that matter) are willing to abandon their ideas and become Catholic (I do not mean individuals--many of them convert--but the whole denomination).

Anyone who refuses to convert to Catholic when given the opportunity, would not be rightly called "pro-Catholic"; right? We would describe anyone resistant to conversion as an "anti-Catholic". Now, I know that carries a heavy connotation for some people. There are even those who would say "anti-Catholic" means the person wants to kill all Catholics. Yet, how else would you describe someone who sought to make Catholics leave the Church?

Some protestants are quite negative about Catholicism, and want to make sure that nothing they do in any way resembles the practices of the Catholic Church (regardless of how many Christians in the first three centuries of the Church did it); i.e. "anti-Catholic". Others do not mind having a few practices that are similar to the Catholic Church, just so long as they make it clear that they are not Catholic, and do not want to be; i.e. "anti-Catholic lite".

An interesting twist on all this is that there are many Catholic parishes who water down the faith, and try their hardest to look like protestants while still being Catholic. Now that could rightly be called "Catholic lite". Just so everyone is clear.
