Are you also in favor of slave reparations, or do you simply take hypocritical stances when Catholics are involved?

First, Rome did not free the "slaves" (i.e., believers who opposed Rome's iron fist) so your analogy does not work. Many broke free from Rome by paying with their lives. Rome fought all the way, and only in recent years even admitted there was such a thing as a "Christian" outside of the Roman "church".

I don't act like slavery never existed. I don't promote teachings that condones things like slavery. I don't act surprised when there is a reaction to the memory of slavery.

I don't act like the RC Church never killed people. I don't promote those actions, and I'm not acting surprised that they are remembered.

That said, what does surprise me is that people like yourself use ancient history to damn the current RC Church, when clearly Catholics alive today had nothing to do with those events. It's no different than the race baiters who use slavery to condemn the US in its current form - do you promote their actions?
