The Catholic Church leaves such Talibanism to the Protestants and iconoclastic heresies.

now there is a fine example of catholic bigotry and self delusion. BTW, the article was a nice piece of revisionist history as well.

My post was actually a criticism of people within my church. But now that you mention it, the destruction of the Buddas by the Talaban pales in comparison to the destruction of Henry VIII. He destroyed hundreds of monasteries so that he could steal the land to redistribute to his co-conspirators. The history written by the Protestants dwells on the theology of the Reformation, but ignores the greed.
