You don't have to provide a history lesson. I understand what the Pope represents. How does he feel about the people who have been persecuted by Saddam? I merely suggested that he took up the same position as the UN. I don't agree with him. Am I allowed to say that? Or is that "demonizing" or "Catholic bashing?"

[Notwithstanding]

You did not merely criticize - you "demonized" AND you told a lie.

By all means, criticize Vatican policy - but don't tell the lie that the Vatican wants torture to go unchallenged.
