Big Mick - "Your equating the religion with Nazism and Hitler"

Its not as if the Catholic church made Hitler do what he did, but you have to admit that they kept very quiet and they actually profitted from the misery of the Jews. Its not as if they knew nothing about it. In fact, all churches are well known for placating the masses and covering for politicians. Are you saying that for all the good the church does, the criminality should be ignored?

In Vancouver, the Catholic church had to sell some very valuable land to pay damages to some of the victims of pedophiles. So it should be. It happened on their watch.

The Church, with the blessing of the State, has been responsible for many attrocities. Recently the Church is being accused of genocide.

"The Catholic, Anglican and United Church , and the government of Canada, operated the schools and hospitals where these mass graves are located. We therefore hold these institutions and their officers legally responsible and liable for the deaths of these children."

Seems like nobody bothered to read my previous post.

I have a question for those who think this is Church bashing. If the Church isn't liable, who is? The Government of Canada? Seems to me they gave the responsibility to the Church. Lets face it, these kids were treated as if they were inhuman. Nobody cared.

Who's responsible for instilling the concept of Supremacy and who maintains that heirarchy? Why is the Vatican so wealthy and where did that wealth come from? If they care so much about people, why is there so much hunger and homelessness? Sorry Mick, the Vatican cares more about pomp than about the starving masses. There are, of course, exceptions. Not many, but there are some.

Big Mick defending the Catholic Church, is like teribus defending the Republican party.
