"and this favors a certain arrogance that I find unbearable"

Sound like the pot calling the kettle black. Lets not talk about the wholesale slaughter by the Church of indigenous people of South America and Mexico.

The Church didn’t slaughter Indians in Mexico or South America—Spaniards did on some occasions but not for religious reasons. The Inquisition existed in the New World but the indigenous people were not put to death by it. Most of the decline of population (very severe in some regions) was from the spread of disease. Anyway the Poles were not involved.

The Spanish military and governmental forces, not the Church, were responsible for the deaths of the indigenous peoples. The Church actually sent missionaries, many of whom suffered greatly and died.

Proof, please. Otherwise, nice talking point from the DUmp and Madeline Murray O'Hare.

The Church has done more to help humanity (converted or not) since its founding than ANY other group. To spread such a lie about those trying to do God's work is beneath contempt.

God bless you. He WILL judge all of us who have sinned. This includes you, like it or not.
