Hmmm. The 10-yr-old article Suibhne O'Piobaireachd cites says the priest in question had a computer capable of holding the Encyclopedia Britannica 11 times over. I have a computer capable of holding 231 copies of the encyclopedia - I wonder if I'm suspect. When it comes to analysis of the actions of churches, it's very difficult to find factual information - almost everything you find (including Mudcat threads) has a "spin" on it.

Suibhne O'Piobaireachd, can you really say "oppression, mind-fuck, wholesale massacre, fascist collusion, inquisition, torture & terror" and claim not to be at least a little bit biased?

Jesus H. Christ!!!




An the other hand, I have to agree with Smokey that there are at least some questions about Mother Theresa. The general rule for Catholic missionaries is to serve the people, and not to talk religion unless people come asking. I've seen implications that Mother Theresa seems to have overstepped that boundary quite often, although I do not have concrete information.
