the catholic church is not liberal. the pope, as did most clergy of most faiths, wanted to avoid war. that hardly makes him liberal. nor is the church hierarchy liberal; in fact, they are conservative on almost every issue.
at least here in mid-america, the catholics i know wer more supportive of the war and president bush than the average american. at almost every mass, i heard prayers for the safety of our troops and the success of the war on terrorism.
thagt being said, there is a left-wing brach of catholic clergy and laymen in this country, but primarily where you find the most concentration of the usual suspects--e.g., the coasts, minnesota, college towns, etc.
to be fair, there are anti-americans in way too many groups in this country. let's not smear every catholic, just as we don't smear all college professors, etc.

Why don't you address the gist of my post and comment on why the Vatican has remained silent on the mass graves in Iraq.
