We can republish this story for as long as you need to express your contempt for the Church.

Had this been an article about a "Protestant" home for unwed mothers, how many Catholics would be not only posting and reposting it but piling on to express their contempt for all things Protestant?

You realize it wasn’t the Catholics that helped to perpetuate that Nazi slaughters, right?

What's that Internet law that kicks in when the first person brings up the Nazis to bolster their assumed argument? You're doing it, dude.

Is it so difficult for Catholics to admit wrong was done by those representing their church and determine they will do all they can to prevent it from happening again? The, "other people were bad, too" defense is pretty lame for an organization that claims it alone is the ONE, TRUE church of Jesus Christ. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12:48)

I don’t go out of my way to bash my fellow Christians.

Absurd use of the Nazi characterization doesn’t negate the reality of Catholic resistance to the Nazis that also had problems with Catholicism. The Nazis didn’t like the Jews. Didn’t Like Catholics.

Legitimate concerns are raised concerning the Church. But the opportunistic hostility is a different matter — a bitter, small-minded game that can be played by both sides. Is that what you want? I’d be more than happy to dig out crap on whatever Christian derivative you wave above your head.

It is not. My family is from within a mile and a half of where that occurred. I was there this time last year. They, and my family here, are heartbroken about it. I accept the fact that people in my church have failed in a lot of cases, and work to do everything I can to ensure that the humans involved with my church do not sully God’s majesty.
