Ex-Catholic, here.
I do too, but unfortunately the world does not think the way you do.
However, perhaps I protest too much. Irish-Catholics have had "white privilege" since well before JFK's election, and the days of being denied opprotunity for "being a Roman Catholic" likely ended around that time too.
Maybe a few NYC country clubs won't let you in but that is about it.

I am a proud Irish-American (you may be able to tell from my name!)
I am also a Catholic. Now I know you are already prejudiced against me ( Irish and Catholic.. double whammy!) but hopefully we can have a producitve converstaion.
Slainte!
Welcome. Why would we be prejudiced against you for those reasons alone?
You'd be prejudiced against my Catholocism. A lot of people think Catholics are "dummies" or "Backward" when nothing could be further from the truth.
Look at Barack Obama's attacking those poor little nuns who only don't want to hand out contraception. Being Catholic isn't always easy..
