I grew up as a Protestant and also experienced the 'fear and loathing' of the Roman Catholic Church. It was a typical example of ignorance, prejudice, bigotry and extreme intolerance of any belief that differs from one's own. That is why 'open dialogue' between different thoughts and opinions is vital to break down intolerance.
Charlotte's anti-Catholic sentiments are in her novels. Two examples "The Professor" (her first novel published after her death) and "Vilette" are blantant with it!
