How dare you question Israel. The Amen corner at FR will be most displeased.

Yes I have noticed.

What you sarcastically call the "amen corner" is an amalgam of varied and individual points of view. Old Reggie, Uncle Chip, blue-duncan, Alex Murphy, Wmfights and myself often hold conflicting theological positions. We do not "amen" in unison when it comes to certain religious doctrines and historical scenarios. Even those concerning Israel.

So it's all the more interesting when six disparate Christians who have read the history books and newspaper accounts all agree with the Israelis that it would be a tragic insult to the six million lives who were snuffed out in the holocaust if Rome were to sanitize the record of Eugenio Pacelli and elevate "Hitler's Pope" to sainthood.

We're not the ones driving this debate. We're simply saying we agree with the article that began this thread.

Darn right, and I am still praying for you guys to see the light before He comes and surprizes you.

Well said!

I think where we do stand united is in a belief that we should seek the truth and to try to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Wouldn't it be fair to say they have a very unique dog in this fight. I certainly understand their trepidation of embracing a historical figure as a "saint" who they aren't so sure was a "saint".

I’m still trying to get my head around your invoking JFK into this thread.

Six disparate Christians...

Disparate in everything except a well documented history of rabid anti-Catholicism.

Yes, the point you make is pretty clear.

Keep beating at the Vatican with those sticks, folks. You don't fool anyone.
