`  A revised statement to take into account your apt critiques: This article concerns religious prejudice and bigotry that victimizes Catholics and Catholicism. In 1979, Lance Morrow wrote: This prejudice,`` wrote Greeley, ``is not as harmful to individuals as either anti-Semitism or racism ... [But] it is more insidious because it is not acknowledged, not recognized, not explicitly and self-consciously rejected. Good American liberals who would not dream of using sexist language or racist slurs or anti-Semitic jokes have no problem at all about using anti-Catholic language, ethnic slurs or Polish jokes.`` There is still some truth in Writer Peter Viereck's remark in 1959: ``Anti-Catholicism is the anti-Semitism of the intellectual.``    Is that satisfactory? It would seem that grammatically equating hostility and prejudice endangers discourse. After all, St. Bernard wrote incredibly hostile things about the Church in his day. None would, one hopes, deem him an anti Catholic bigot for having done so. Also, dictionary definitions would seem unwise; anyone seeing a dictionary definition assumes that definition suffices for the article unless specific information is provided to the contrary.  `
