Since when can the church tell the state what to do, “or else”.

Since John the Baptist told Herod that it was not right for him to fool around with his brother's wife. And just as John paid for his outspokenness with his head, so today, some still become enraged to hear truth spoken.

I love it, though. When the subject is Pius XII, Hitler and WWII, the vacuous refrain is "the Catholic Church should have spoken out more. It didn't do enough".

When the subject is the American government, the habitual attitude is STFU!! Don't tell the state what to do!

The exact opposite, IOW.

We can't win! We're too silent.......we're too outspoken.....no, we're too silent........no wait, we're too outspoken!

You're telling us that if another Hitler were to come along the Church should keep its nose out of the situation? Here's a clue. All moral matters are within the purview of the Catholic Church which was established by Jesus Christ and answers to God, not man!!!

The truth about Pope Pius XII: He loathed Hitler and the Nazis and he sheltered and protected hundreds of thousands of Jews from being exterminated. You simply must read Rabbi David Dalin’s book, The Myth of Hitler’s Pope, it clears up the whole matter. Pius XII was a saint who saved many lives and was beacon of light in time of darkness.

Much like with Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the liberal/left has done a real hatchet job on Pius XII.
