Well, I went to a Catholic school and never got this impression. Our
religion texts included comments on buddhism, islam and judaism, and
even if there was the assumption that we catholics had it "right", the
other people had some things right, too, so they were not going to burn
in Hell.

Now I come to think about it there was an old priest who was very
condescending towards Luther and protestants, but he was so much your
stereotipical old, fat priest (with an habit to pat children's shoulders
if you know what I mean) that it was difficult to take him seriously.

It's kinda like that thing about suicide being the biggest sin a
catholic can commit. It gets mentioned sometimes in american series, but
I never heard of it before watching them. Surely it's considered as a
sin (I seem to recall it was declared a sin in order to stop crazy
people who was too eager to chat with Jesus) but the biggest? 

Or maybe is that the american branch of the catholic church is more
conservative and take these things more seriously. Dunno.
