19. When I was a child, Catholic friends and schooolmates

Saturday

at public school told me I was not Christian because my family was Lutheran. They said that they were taught that Catholicism was the only true faith and the rest of us were Pagans who faked and mocked Christianity.

However, in my Lutheran Sunday School, we were NOT taught to regard other Christian denominations as unChristian. Just different expressions of faith.

That was in the 1950s. AFAIK, today Catholics do not consider other Christian denominations as Pagans.
