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.
I agree. That's exactly the insinuation Peter Jennings was attempting tonight. The guy is just oily. I'll be glad when he finally retires. The man is just insulting almost for his physical presence.
I can understand The Church's historic list of banned books. Certainly the Protestant went after books with a fever. But you know who surpassed even them, or even the oft compared and leftist Nazis for that matter - Jennings' own libs, of this latest modern era. That's the whole point of their political correctness, and not just in Communist dictatorships. Look to the furor at any college campus, any lefist publisher, the entire gamut of the LM - censor books they don't like, shut down sites they don't like, or try to shut them down. The last 25 years, at least, have seen the iron fist of liberalism right here in the good ole USA, and the desire to censor anything and everything that doesn't suit their own agenda. College libraries have 'red tagged' untold number of volumes not because they were worn, but because they were seen as orthodox or conservative. Hillaire Belloc was excised, and the like of Asimov or even Rahner were re-ordered. Burn them books, you libs. The important ones will still exist somewhere, and be reprinted, or put out as etext. Then what will you do? All it takes is for one book to escape the liberal bonfires.
