That is essentially the same thing I said.
Longman blames the churches, not those who incited the mobs or who actually killed the people.
There had been a long running civil war in Rwanda between Tutsi’s and Hutu's.
People went on the radio every day during the killings ordering people go to targeted villages and to kill everyone including women and children. Mobs were orgnized and armed and taken to villages to kill innocent people. In fact, Rwandans have told me that the radio broadcasts admonished the mob members for being less than enthused and for not killing enough women and children.
The point is Pope Francis refuses to recognize the many contributions and accomplishments by faithful Catholics throughout the world. Francis is quick to falsely attack Catholics in general for things that Catholics are not responsible for.
I have met and gotten to know several Rwandans in the U.S. The are very devout Catholics and when they tell the story of the horrific killing none of them blame the Catholic Church.
That is essentially the same thing I said.
Here, it's not about "what you said" it's about what you left out.
It appears you are attempting to rejecting Longman's thesis about what roles churches did play (for both ill, and some good too, but less of that latter) while accepting what he wrote about radio broadcasts & mob incitement?
Who are you trying to convince. Me, or yourself?
He has to openly pronounce all the exceptions to anything he may say --- each time he says most anything?
