But I also don't think Roman Catholics threatening people's lives, running them off their property or jailing them for being Christian, gives you much room to handwring and play innocent. Rome may very well be innocent in this instance; but, I find it neccessary to ask the question as a matter of being real about it and, perhaps, fair.

That's ridiculous. You refer to the alleged offenders as "Roman Catholics" and leap to the insinuation that Catholics everywhere, apparently, share some guilt for something that happened in a remote rural region of South America where disputes between Indians, mestizos, Spanish South Americans, the United Fruit Company, and banana plantation owners have been common for many years. It has nothing to do with Catholics, Catholics here or in Iraq or Rome. Neither the Pope nor officials in the Vatican order Catholics to assault non-Catholics. Quite the contrary is the case.

If you were informed or educated about religious matters, you would know these things. Now...cut it out. This is very dorky and silly stuff you are peddling here.

This would sort of be like us suggesting you should be embarrassed or feel guilty that somewhere in the backwoods of West Virginia or Tennessee guys reading the King James version are dancing around with Copperheads and drinking strychnine to the beat of Elvis music.

I think that what Havoc is referring to is one of the Marxist pseudo priests that plagued South America a few years ago under the name of Liberation Theology (for the new version, take a look at some of the Methodist's seminary stuff).

There more than likely was a priest (possibly excommunicated) who ordered an attack on a village or company. It had more to do with Communism than any flavor of Christianity. There was a bit of house cleaning about 10 or so years ago in regards to "liberation theology". I remember a story about the Shining Path (narco communists) in Columbia that were known to do something like this.
