They're already doing that, have been for a long time. I have a Baptist coworker who thinks Catholicism isn't real Christianity...
I had a Catholic coworker who said some of her Catholic relatives were becoming “Christians”, which turned out to mean Evangelicals.
I think all religions are just fake copycats of the one true god.
Praise be Flying Spaghetti Monster

I've seen a lot of that and not just recently.
All religions think all other religions are not "real", because of their "There can be only one!" Highlander shit.
I mean, most protestant Christians dislike Catholicism, that's why they are called protestants after all.
The new part is American evangelicals and other extremists thinking that catholicism not being conservative enough...
To be fair, it isnt; but then neither is Evangelicism or Mormonism or any of these other wackadoo cults within which these assholes conflate their hatred and fear with faith.
Conservative Protestants have been saying that for a very long time though. The attitude is so pervasive that my wife, who grew up Catholic (but has not been one for decades), has to be reminded that Catholics are Christians.
There a whole YouTube channel by some ex fox host called church militant... It's all about hating gays and lesser religions. They talk shit about the Pope all the time.
It's like everything in America is just power struggles, selfishness, greed, and crime. There's no God or respect for life here. The "good guys" don't even go after the "bad guys" because the bad guys are ahead now. People are so naive here they think heartless crimes are not happening when it's right under their nose. Sometimes the good guys even get used in the plot. Just look at all the old politicians and Americans that got roped in Rogers stones mob puppeting of Trump. America had a mob affiliate for president. I think that puts in stone... Americas bullshit. It's going to take decades to get trust and genuine patriotism back.
To be fair, even the super conservative Catholics aren’t into this pope. Benedict was their jam.
