There is this but most of the time when I hear these people badmouth the Catholics it's going back to the time of the Reformation and Martin Luther. Or they just complain that "Jesus never mentioned that somebody should be the head of the church" or something. Basically what these people actually know about Catholicism can fit into a thimble.They spend about 15 minutes shitting on Catholics and how the early church councils are actually entirely illegitimate and have no bearing on real gud Christians even though those councils are where the entire New Testament was codified. Of course they don't actually know that and are probably also ignorant to the fact that the Hebrew bible the Protestant Old Testament is based off of is younger than and based off the Greek Old Testament of the Nicene Churches.
They also don't know what Nicea is or what the council actually was and bring up Constantine as if that's some sort of own against Catholics.
This is actually quite common with people who grew up poor. Meat was a sign of success and wealth and if you could afford to have meat on the dinner table every day it meant you were well off. So much so that they'll literally say, "it doesn't feel like dinner if there's no meat".This has been living rent free in my head for 2 weeks and I keep coming back to it. His sentiment isn't "There was always food on the table", it's "We had BEEF."
I always figured Jacks meat obsession was played up, maybe just making fun of how much of a glutton he is. Giant American serving sizes and big cuts of meat at every meal. Ha ha, fat man is very fat. But no, it's literally a part of his identity. If you're eating meat, you're succeeding in life. He's willing to rewrite or misremember his own childhood because of how food insecure he was and how important the Meat of Success is to him.
