Folks, Pitiricus was on another thread yesterday spreading outrageous lies about the Catholic Church, claiming that "Pope Pius XII had lots of nice things to say about Hitler" and similar communist propaganda. And I inform you of this as an agnostic. In my opinion, he's a troll, looking to bait people into an argument.
Just letting you know.
Oh, and for the record?
"So you are against compulsory schooling? Welcome to the Middle Ages..."
A true liberal mind at work here - judge that compulsory schooling -must- be good, simply because it "sounds right". Odds that this guy ever checked what actually happened to the literacy rate in this country when compulsory schooling was instituted, and found out that it -droppped-? And that the same is true in the history of the UK? Zero. But who cares about results? As long as we can feel good about ourselves, that's all that matters.

Play nice. Tolerance and all that.
I believe there is truth in that. However it must be kept in the context of biblical teaching about authority and in the political context of causing the local Catholics to be persecuted ( See modern day France and Spain) .
