Hermann: Have you ever read the Old Testament, where Elijah slew the false prophets of Baal? ... Its not against the will of God to burn heretics who insist on disturbing the faithful and robbing them of truth.

Rome never changes. It's the auto-de-fe and the instruments of the Inquisition if any dare to disagree whereever Rome holds power. It is somewhat rare for her adherents to be so forthright about her murderous intent toward all who refuse to submit to her pope.

And it's not some dark misty past where all this occurred. Just ask the Croats of the WW II era. They live in fear now because of the resurgence of the murderous Nazi-like Catholics in their region and the cruel and murderous Roman element in Croatia was just given encouragement by the pope declaring their genocidal leader to be a Roman saint.

It's real and it's now.

I don't think the pope will ever get around to apologizing to these, the current victims of his drive into the old Soviet empire.

A timely reminder from Abraham Lincoln:

As long as God gives me a heart to feel, a brain to think, or a hand to execute my will, I will devote it against that power which has attempted to use the machinery of the courts to destroy the rights and character of an American citizen. But there is a thing which is very certain; it is, that if the American people could learn what I know of the fierce hatred of the generality of the priests of Rome against our institutions, our schools, our most sacred rights, and our so dearly bought liberties, they would drive them away, tomorrow, from among us, or would shoot them as traitors. […] The history of the last thousand years tells us that wherever the Church of Rome is not a dagger to pierce the bosom of a free nation, she is a stone to her neck, and a ball to her feet, to paralyze her and prevent her advance in the ways of civilization, science, intelligence, happiness, and liberty.

Abraham Lincoln, following the Chiniquy trial

As a catholic convert, I have a terrible time with some of this information. There was another individual on usenet who justified burning heretics. Others yearn for totally catholic countries. If life in catholic countries were fair and just, it might not be so bad. Life in catholic countries has almost always been almost intolerable for the underclasses. Life in orthodox Russia was the same for the underclasses as well.

The catholic church is gathering a lot more power again, and one of my greatest fears, is that history will repeat itself .

There are many good and true things about the catholic church, but I don't trust them to do the right thing when push comes to shove.

It's real and it's now.

And the pope keeps going there to create another saint for them so they can know they are on the right track. He makes public apologies while he desecrates the dying grounds of those killed by clergy of his church.

Croatia

I understand Argentina, coincidentally, is also a very hard country for the Jews currently.
