Hated Catholics?
Horse shit.
"In 1950 evangelicals and Catholics eyes each other with deep suspicion. Most evangelicals felt that Catholicism was sub-Christian at best, and many believed that it was not Christian at all." Graham risked a great deal with his core constituency when he began building bridges between evangelicals and Catholics. This began in earnest soon after his 1957 crusade in New York City, at Madison Square Garden, the first time he preached on national television, when local priests warned parishioners against attending. Soon, Graham was reaching out to prominent Catholics in every city as he prepared a crusade, to stand with him as representatives of the Christian faith.

When asked by a reporter, what he'd do if invited by the pope to preach at St. Peter's, he replied "I would gladly and humbly accept...and study for about a year in preparing."
