“Well if we go to war against Italy I suppose that you will be the first creep burning Catholic churches. Disgusting.”
First off, if Italy invaded us, and the Catholic Church were an arm of the Italian government, and was spreading Italy’s propaganda, then don’t be surprised if some Catholic churches were torched.
But, of course, your analogy is frivolous, as the Catholic Church is universal, and only its “headquarters” are within the borders of Italy; but that headquarters, the Vatican, is NOT part of Italy, and in no way is it part of the Italian government. In fact, the Vatican is its own separate and legally recognized country!
You are splitting hairs. The same argument that you use to excuse the despotic burning of Russian Orthodox churches in the Ukraine could be used here at home. We have been at war with Islamofascists here at home for some time and I wonder if you would be the type of a-hole to burn mosques?
