On August 27, 1998, indigenous Catholics in Mitziton, Chiapas, took 23 evangelicals hostage and threatened to eject them from the community if they did not convert to Catholicism. Catholic and state authorities intervened to obtain their release. In addition, a number of Catholic churches were burned in Chiapas, but the authorities made no arrests.

Hatemongers are known for not bothering to read and understand the stuff they post with glee.

If it's the evil Catholics who are responsible for this violence, why are the Cathoic Churches being burned and why were the Catholic authorities involved on the side of the "good?"

Stupid hatemongers.

Like Democrats arguing both for and against strong actions against terrorism (taking Bush to task for not doing before 9/11 what they simultaneously criticise him doing after), the only possible solution to this ethnic violence would be for the Catholic Church to come down, and come down hard on these Indians who profess the faith and yet act in primitive ways. But if the Catholic Church did exactly that, you same hatemongers would raise the alarms about how oppressive and powerful the Church is.

Hypocrites and ignorant. And willfully so.

Yeah, and Protestants in Ireland jeer little Catholic schoolgirls. It's little to do with religion. What a hatemonger you are.

Good morning oh enlightened one.
