This weekend has been a slow TV weekend with multiple channels providing same coverage of President Ford's funeral and Saddam Hussein's execution. So I got an extra dose from the 'talking heads' on C-Span 1 and 2.
The 'think-tanks' were talking about Hitler and Hussein. One member said that Hitler was at the best an "atheist" and more accurately a "cultist." These characterizations are a far cry from "Catholic Fascist" use by the 'thinker' from Goanet. Another member of the think-tank used a phrase which tends to apply to goanet - "cliche mongering." Kind Regards, GL ----------- Mario Goveia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Cornel: However, anyone familiar with German and Nazi history would know that you have used the empirical/historical evidence very selectively. A fair and balanced use of empirical/historical evidence would indicate that Hitler actually practiced the exact opposite of the core teachings of the Catholic religion in several major areas. > It is pretty obvious that your agenda has been to denigrate and devalue Catholicism by claiming that monstrous tyrants like Hitler were practicing Catholics. With this agenda in mind, you have blythely ignored all that Hitler actually DID in practice - the genocide, adultery, murder, etc. that are anathema to any practicing Catholic - and have focused solely on what Hitler - and other anti-Catholics - have self-servingly and ostentatiously SAID about his pretenses and trappings of religion, like going to Church, etc.
