Please take your statements of anti-Catholic bigotry to another List, Mr.
Seeberger.
Comparing the Catholic Church to the "Axis" and calling it "Authoritarian"
is the sort of hack insult I would only expect from the most virulent of
bigots. The word "Axis" is used in current-day conversation to describe
regimes like Nazi Germany, Al Qaeda, the Communist DPRK, and Baathist Iraq.
The fact that you would even think for a moment to associate the Catholic
Church with the above, frankly makes me sick.
The Catholic Church believes that Mr. Kerry is willfully aiding and
abetting the slaughter of 800,000+ innocent American children each year.
If the Catholic Church should really have no rights of "free association"
in this country and should be prohibited from disassociating themselves
from someone whom they believe is guilty of openly promoting and condoning
these murders, then the only authoritarian around here is you, Mr.
Seeberger. It seems that you would deny Catholics and the Catholic Church
this most basic of American rights. O.k., maybe you would not actually
deny them these rights, but the fact that you would use such absolutely
sickening insults to describe the free exercise of this right would seem to
speak volumes.
To put it simply, your comments, Mr. Seeberger are a shameful return to the
old bigotry of "Catholics Need Not Apply" and accusations of "popery." To
quote the opening sentence of your article:
"The last time a major political party put forward a Roman Catholic
candidate for President, he had to confront bigotry...."
Actually, I guess that he still does....
