Yet you argue in favor of propaganda from socialists for the destruction of Israel.
When Islamists have moved/multiplied more in and around Italy and are taking the Vatican by force, will you argue in favor of documents dishonestly vilifying the Catholic lobby and calling for cutting off aid from Italy? ...not to mention that some honest arguments could be stated (for example, the millions in ransoms to fund terrorism against our soldiers--something that Israel has not done).

Yet you argue in favor of propaganda from socialists for the destruction of Israel. Please point to where I have advocated the destruction of Israel. If perchance I have gone against my own beliefs on this topic somehow, I'd like the chance to correct myself.
I have forthrightly stated I support the destruction of Islam, but never said so concerning Israel.

I don't know what you are talking about. To the best of my knowledge the Vatican has no lobby in the United States that lobbies for their position. I believe if the Pope has an opinion or factual information that he thinks might have a bearing on US policy he makes a statement open to anyone in the world who follows what he says or he may send it through his nuncio.
Were you intimating that there is a lobby similar to AIPAC funded by Catholics to influence our policies vis a vis the Vatican?
Incidentally,I am not talking about some of the goofy position papers the bishops and cardinals from the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops come out with. If I were the Pope I would probably ask the President to confiscate their headquarters in D.C. and tell them to work out of an isolated monastery in the boonies that has no electricity or other amenities. Oh,they shouldn't be allowed to have any transportation except donkies and a camel or two either.
The bishops are very lucky the Church does not have female priests,men are actually much kinder than women.That last paragraph is sarcasm,kind of. I guess I mean that in no case should government confiscate any property but if I believed they could and should,then those busy-body bishops (about a third of them) would be my target,and I am a committed Catholic.
