What's it to him?
It's to him to falsely blur it or conflate it or smear it with paganism. That's what it is to him.
So I'll move on, to the Inquisition:
The Inquisition? Yes, lets not be shy. The Inquisition is every Catholic-bashers favorite tool of abuse though it is one that is very much not in the bashers favor. There were several Inquisitions. The first in order of importance in Catholic history was the Inquisition against the Albigensians a heresy that encouraged suicide, euthanasia, abortion, sodomy, fornication, and other modern ideas that were distasteful to the medieval mind. The struggle against the Albigensians erupted into war and a war that could not be carefully trammeled within crusading boundaries. So Pope Gregory IX entrusted the final excision of the Albigensian heresy to the scalpel of the Inquisition rather than the sword of the Crusader.
Modern American popular culture and Democratic Party politics looks an awful lot like Albigensianism. The more things change ... In many ways, that popular culture of assisted suicide, abortion, sodomy, etc. is infecting parts of the Church (and has overwhelmed many protestant ecclesial communities). By looking at history, we can learn where we need to currently apply our efforts at Temple Cleansing.
