"Now there's charitable response for you...but it's hardly Catholic bashing to state the truth." ~ O6ret
It's a quite common game that the emotion-driven shallow ?thinkers? in both politics and religion play.
Certain political/religious "beliefs" are held by various sides. The sides which aren't able to logically defend their beliefs in the face of legitimate questioning, will always resort to accusing the other side of "bashing" their beliefs, rather than just giving them up in the face of irresistible facts. For instance:
Quote:
"The game being played now in the media, if you're in a minority group, is that if you can't win the debate, you demonize the person reporting the story by calling them anti-whatever. I'm not playing that game." ~ Bill O'Reilly

The world is in the middle of a religious war. With the mass murder of Christians in the Balkans, Africa and Malaysia, and the incremental and never-ending slaughter of Jews in Israel, the Protector of The Faith rises to be heard in defense of those who hate are aggressively destroying Christianity - a faith having it's roots in the Jewish religion.
Christ Jesus was a Jew. Christ Jesus chose to be a Jew. His mother was a Jew. God Almighty chose a Jewish woman to be the mother of His Son.
The one man in the entire world who has a spiritual responsibility to lead the One True Church kisses the Koran, wears the Indian Hindu high priest Brahman symbol on his forehead, and rises to speak in support of those who are determined to murder Christians and Jews.
Taking a line from the old game-show "What's My Line, I'm driven to ask, "Will the real Roman Catholic Pope please stand up."
