Let me please clarify one point, MikeinIraq: What I am mourning is the LOSS of Catholicism in Spain. It is a pity that certain Vatican officials have hindered the church's own efforts in Spain, but without the faithfulness of many of the church's people, the conservatives in Spain would never had stood a chance! It's just sad that the Vatican's anti-war effort confused and thereby diminished the political action of the Church.

I wouldn't blame the Catholic Church per se. But until those in the Church/church drop the human rights/humanitarian nonsense and focus on it's mission, it will find appealing and supporting left-wing liberals is bad for business.
