In theory yes. However, they were Catholic priests who were accused by the Vatican of having Marxist philosophies. The Vatican set up this oxymoron and it is one of the problems I have with their opposition to Liberation Theology. Jose repeated the Marxist connection. I think the burden in on the those who accuse the liberation theologists of being Marxist to demonstrate how Catholic priests can be Marxist at the same time. I see it is easy to throw around the word Marxist with people one disagrees with - as you have done with the Baathists below. > The last time I checked, Capitalism was an economic system which does not > include a > religious component. I did not say Capitalism had a religious component. I wrote about the Church's alignment with capitalism. > the innocent Iraqis are being targeted and killed by suicidal Sunni > Marxist-Leninist Baathists, Innocent Iraqis are being targeted by Iraqis and have been caught in the crossfire of US coalition forces too. But Sunni Marxist-Leninist Baathists! Is this comedy? The Sunnis are atheists too? Or did you forget to add Trostsky to the Marxist Leninist combo. How about Sunni Marxist-Leninsist-Trostsky-Stalinist-Socialist-anti-capitalist-anti-democratic-pro-Canadian aids-infected Baathists. Now, that should make you feel good. > These are the same Sunni Marxist-Leninist Baathists, led by Saddam Hussein, > who had brutalized > the majority of Iraqis for over 30 years, Saddam Hussein killed about 500,000 of his people, perhaps more. Capitalism and its quest for oil control has killed 100,000 in this war and about 200,000 in the first gulf war, including the carpet bombing of retreating Iraqi solders. Capitalism is currently losing the death count to Saddam. With his imprisonment and impending execution, capitalism will catch up. Regards, George
