Salem Lutheran Church, in Stillwaters, Minnesota, have identified the office of the Pope as the anti-Christ, which is the figure in the Bible that will institute a one-world government and cause everyone to follow him and deny the divinity of Jesus. Michele Bachmann has been a member of this church for more than decade. She and her Church both deny they are anti-Catholic.
Growing up as conservative Republican Christian, I am very aware of the view that many of them hold that says Catholics are not even Christians. They use strange rationale like Catholics pray to Mary or that you don't need a Priest to speak to Jesus. Anyway, many of their views are very anti-Catholic among, and there is no reason to believe Bachmann does not hold this view. It would be different if a person were anti-religion, but being a conservative Protestant and then attacking Catholics just makes you look really stupid. All of them share outrageous beliefs, with Protestants saying salvation depends on believing a person actually came back from the dead, even though that NEVER happens in any case thus experienced. They also discount being a good person to get to Heaven, which means people like Ghandi are going to hell. It would be wise for one to examine one's own beliefs before attacking those of another.
