Show me where I said that?

That's right you can't. I was just saying that I remember catholics doing a bit of the ol book barbecue. Yes the Nazis did it. If you want to make the correlation go right ahead.

I'm not comparing the Catholics to Nazi's. I'm pointing out the Catholics have a history of censuring materials they don't agree with.

I was just asking for a clarification. I wasn't making an accusation.

I don't remember who said it, but to paraphrase, "Error has no right to exist."

I'm sure non-Catholics do too. In fact they've been into suppressing Catholic things from way back.


Regardless, I hate the old tired liberal insinuation that any criticism of a book/movie is the same as confiscating and "burning" books.

Freedom of speech goes both ways. Criticism of "speech" is just as much a right as the original "speech" itself.
