Jim Carroll says: "The church has trditionally supported the right - Franco - Pinochet - some of the worst of the worst"

I think, Jim, that you will find church people on both sides of every struggle, throughout history. Your mistake is to consider churches monolithic. That never has been the case. It is true, however, that those in the Ruling Class tend to side with those in the Ruling Class (including the Ruling Class in churches). I tend to believe in the importance and power and intelligence of those who are not part of the Ruling Class.
