So you were probably drooling and blindly staring nowhere when His Holiness Pope JP II apologized for the Church not having a proactive stance during the Holocaust.
And yes, you're the knee-jerk when you equal Catholic = Anti-Jew.
And you can be sure that I'll defend my faith and my Church from all the gratuitous attacks I unfortunately have to see here at FR...
Oh i remember when he made his apology about ignoring the holocaust. But apologies only go so far when millions died due to inaction.
I'm not blaming the church for it, nor am i blaming the church for any of the current issues.
What i'm saying is Israel was ignored when he condemned the latest attacks and i find it quite interesting.
I never said the church was Anti-Jew. But history has shown that they have been in various instances.
And you have every right to defend your church and faith. But you should not blindly defend the church especially when they do something which is quite obviously wrong... like their hush hush attitude about the child abuse scandals in the catholic church.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against catholics.... just like I have nothing against you and i hope you don't take my criticism as a peronal attack on yourself because it definately isn't.
I just would like to see more even handedness.
Just a thought.... perhaps they ignored the israel issue because if they show open support.... it may ruffle some Arab feathers and risk an attack in Rome or another Italian city?
I couldn't agree with you more! And I intend to do the same.
