>From Yahoo News, see story below on today's beatification by the Pope of an Austrian >Emperor whose troops used poison gas. For those interested in justice and equality and the continuing second-class treatment of Indian Catholics by the Church, this news is as shocking as the beatification of the founder of Opus Dei or the respect paid to the colonizer Columbus. The wrongful delay in canonizing Blessed Vaz is made even more relevant by the ongoing favorable treatment of Europeans over others. At the present rate, soon all of Europe will be canonized. The Vatican continues to loose credibility and respect with such actions. See story at http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=518&ncid=732&e=10&u=/ap/20041003/ap_on_re_eu/vatican_beatifications "the Vatican had no business honoring a monarch whose troops used poison gas."
