Yep — I’m learning a lot I was ignorant about until quite recently. Not that long ago I learned the link between Rockefeller and eugenics — something I’d just never been taught. As a psychologist, I was surprised to learn how his funding was behind the legalization of the sterelization of the mentally ill, which was actually supported by a U.S. Supreme Court decision. Hitler used the SCOTUS decision to defend his own eugenic project, which culminated in the “Final Solution.” We have a dark history in this country that we need to face head-on, or it will rot us from within.

Oh, dear. You really didn't know all this? Well, in some post this evening you quote the encyclical Pope Pius X wrote regarding "Americanism". That was a direct response to a John D. Rockefeller, Jr., visit where he did his darnedest to get the pope to play ball. Yeah, that didn't work.
