Read what I said again.
I wrote that it was the Catholics, not the official church but the American Catholics who have overwhelmingly voted for Democrats and Socialistic minded politicians throughout the last century. Even in the new century the majority of Catholics voted for Al Gore, John Kerry (who served in Vietnam by the way), and Obama twice.
I have not revised history, you just failed to properly read what I wrote.
As for supporting Socialist regimes in Europe, it was only after Hitler was dead and out of power that the Catholic Church disowned him and many of his mass-murdering henchmen.
(As an aside, it will be interesting to see if the new Pope will crack down on the many leftist movements inside the Catholic church like the Marxist activities of the South African bishops conference. Who, with funding from European Bishop Conferences, are supporting the SACBC (Southern African Catholic Bishop’s Conference) which are involved knee deep in helping the ANC spread liberation Theology disguised as a Christian movement.)
It is a fact that the Catholic church favors mixing elements of Capitalism with Socialism. Look at most social engineering programs and you will see that except for abortion and the homosexual movement, the church always come down on the side of governments advancing Socialist agendas.
The American catholic Bishops even supported Obama care. It was not until Obama began forcing the church to cover abortion and contraceptives that it began to disagree. The Church could have defeated it, but it supported Obama’s election and the advancement of Socialized medical coverage.
How hypocritical of them. Kind of like Bill Maher now complaining about Californians high tax rates hurting him. now that Obamacare has them in it’s cross hairs, the church is complaining.
I really dislike religious institutions that help destroy my country, and the catholic church has been one of America’s enemy for many, many years. Just like they supported Hitler, they now support his twin, Obama!
All you Catholic Freepers who are defending the church, need to know who you are defending, Obama’s allie!
Not to mention the Catholic Church also supports the Global Warming scam. We can do this all day long if you desire me to.
And you failed to read what I wrote, which was addressing the Church long-term. You did use the “1000 years” phrase. I simply defended the Church historically. As a convert to Catholicicm, I am more critical of the institution than most. But I defend here, nevertheless, as an historian, which I also am. I also left out the crackdown on the Church in Mexico, which is very much “modern” history. Nor did I mention the current pope’s persection by the leftist government of Argentina. All worth yor consideration.
