in short, what you describe is the very definition of local sectarian trouble, possibly allied to local sectarian protestants, but in no way accurately swept up in broad generalisations of non-catholic anti-catholic hatred.
You obviously are not read up on the Swedish church. They have pretty much given up on religion completely. Last I checked, you didnt even have to believe in god to become a priest over here. And no, I am not joking.

The last ad-campaign from the Swedish church was against racism, religion was not even mentioned. It linked to a facebook page. Even I as an atheist think they have taken things a step to far. Being anti-religion in Sweden is like beating up a corpse.
