You’d think they were still surrounded by the blackshirts, the way they bow to totalitarianism.
One day, Father Sullivan, my Religion-class teacher, stood up in front of us all and announced that the Catholic Church was “very totalitarian.”
I was young and stupid, but I realized about ten years later that “totalitarian” was not a good thing at all. I’ve been right of Reagan every since.
History, learn it, but don’t live it or love it.
