Penn & Teller's Showtime series to be pulled due to "insulting behavior directed at the Catholic Church"?
This is basic U.S. citizenship and is called Freedom of Speech.
Penn & Teller have the freedom of speech to say very horrible things to insult many millions of people.
But those millions of people also have the freedom of speech to tell Penn & Teller that their protected speech was insensitive and offensive.
Freedom of speech goes in both directions.

Four recent events reveal Bible prophecy: Gallaraga#39;s perfect game, Arkansas flood, BP Gulf oil spill, and Touchdown Jesus.
It used to be a largely working-class Irish and Italian-based institution, with some eastern European influence.
Now the Catholic church in America is mostly Mexican illegals. And the church has turned into an advocacy organization FOR those illegals.
When, why, and how did this happen? I notice that whites in America are deserting the Catholic church in droves.
As for me, I'm nonreligious. I don't care either way. I just find this whole situation very curious.
Because the catholic Church has always been an advocate for the poor and downtrodden.
When Catholics read Jesus' words "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," they actually DO something about it.
Fear is a strong word. I do not know that what you are asking is true. Mistrust maybe, avoidance maybe. Misunderstanding, of course. Not to mention bad preaching by Protestant ministers and bad actions by Catholic priests.
I really doubt the Inquisition was much of a worry. 19th century America was a lot different then the Middle ages in Spain. As for the Crusades. I doubt they worried about an army led by English nobility marching on the Lutheran and Baptist churches.
I think, if anything it was misunderstanding and lack of knowledge on both sides.

He added, “Aside from the impropriety of such a grandiose celebration for one of the country’s most notorious dissident Catholics, the ‘celebration’ was filled with liturgical errors and transgressions against the General Instruction of the Roman Missal which governs every celebration of the Church’s liturgy.” Bishop Gracida concluded,
“It is not unreasonable to suggest that the ‘buck’ for the scandal of the secular extravaganza which obscured the sacred liturgical nature of the Kennedy funeral should stop at the desk of the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston. Again, since I do not want to directly criticize another bishop, I leave it to the laity to analyze the true nature of that celebration.” This article is the attempt of one layman, a former lawyer and judge, to “analyze the true nature of that celebration.” The issues surrounding Ted Kennedy’s funeral are not limited to whether Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston, should have allowed or presided at his public funeral or whether he should have allowed the grand celebration of Kennedy’s supposed legislative accomplishments (without mention of his support for abortion, embryonic killing or same-sex marriage) or the liturgical transgressions or even the quasi-canonization by Fr. Mark Hession in his homily. The central issue is whether sacrilegious Communions were committed by Catholic politicians who publicly support the horrendous sin of abortion. This was interpreted by Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger, to mean that when a Catholic politician has consistently campaigned and voted for permissive abortion laws, his Pastor should meet with him, instructing him about the Church’s teaching, informing him that he is not to present himself for Holy Communion until he brings to an end the objective situation of sin, and warning him that he will otherwise be denied the Holy Eucharist. If the pro-abortion Catholic politicians at Mr. Kennedy’s funeral received the Holy Eucharist, perhaps they were never warned by their Pastor or Bishop or by Cardinal O’Malley or any of the celebrating priests that their conduct violated Canon 915. Or, if they were warned and their minster of Communion knew it, than the minister failed under his duty to refuse to distribute the Holy Eucharist to them. Curiously, the printed program for the funeral liturgy did not contain the usual U.S. Bishop’s statement on the guidelines for receiving the Holy Eucharist. These guidelines are that only Catholics may receive and Catholics who do receive must be property disposed. Moreover, neither presiding Cardinal O’Malley nor any priest gave any oral statement about the guidelines before the distribution of the Holy Eucharist. Giving these Catholic pro-abortion politicians the extraordinary benefit of the doubt, perhaps they were in total ignorance because no Pastor, priest or Bishop ever warned them as they should have. Nevertheless, even though they may have never received any warning, still their reception of the Holy Eucharist was objectively unworthy and an objective sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist. This is why the Church in America is spiritually sick and infirm. Eucharistic sacrilege means to treat the Holy Eucharist unworthily and is a grave sin because in this sacrament the true Body of Christ is made substantially present for us. ( No. 1385).
