If a war was being waged over the Bible and the church, wouldn't one side benefit by encouraging the other side to become pacifists? To lay down their theological arms and "run away...run away...?"

Have you ever read Machiavelli?

Do pacifists run away? I thought that they just turned the other cheek. :)

I try not to think of us as Machiavellian. We are just one big happy Catholic family encouraging all of our prodigal Protestant brethren to give up the spiritual partying and c’mon back home. :)
