I doubt very much, Dave that the office of Propaganda was their sole basis for making the charge anymore than my observation is a sole claim. If it were a sole claim it wouldn't be worth the time of day - would it. Added to the heap, it's just one more thing that makes ya go "hmmm".

LOL. You don't know the way the anti-Catholic mind works, do you? Yes, it was exactly on that "linguistic" argument that the claim was based.

If it were a sole claim it wouldn't be worth the time of day - would it. Added to the heap, it's just one more thing that makes ya go "hmmm".

In order to "add it to the heap," one would have to buy into the idea. And thus demonstrate that he didn't understand language or history. Just like you do here.

"Pagan" and "propaganda" share the same root. The Latin word for "country." To propagate the faith is to take it out of the cities and out to the boonies. And out in the boonies, people still clung to the "old" "pagan" beliefs.
