Thanks, KC.
What IS it, with our side of politics, that so many can never give fair credit to the heroes of freedom? Does it somehow ameliorate their insignificance, to snipe at their betters? It's not just the Pope: it's on nearly every day, here: Rush, Drudge, Hannity, Buchanan, even JR... why can't we save our shots, for the Left?
I am anti-ecclesiastical dominion, not anti-Catholic.
The Catholic Church had a history of clergy who were warriors and did wage war to beat back Moorish invaders. Why the change now?
