Did Franco persecute Protestants? Yes. To some extent at the beginning of his regime, but the policies changed to greater tolerance.
Did you deny that he did so? Yes. I erred in making a false assumption about his entire rule, but Spain did move slowly toward religious tolerance in that time frame.
Posting more than that is unncessary.
The purpose of the extended post was to demonstrate that there have been Catholic rulers and political philosophers who were not authoritarian, repressive, or corporatist. Also, as time progressed, Franco gradually went away from that model in his governance of Spain.
The only things worse for you to do than beating a dead horse, is to beat the WRONG dead horse.
You wrote: "Corrections, please....To some extent at the beginning of his regime, but the policies changed to greater tolerance."
I was right. You were wrong. You claimed Franco didn't persecute Protestants. I showed he did. You then decided to modify your position. That was pointless. You were wrong. I am still right. I never claimed Franco persecuted Protestants all the time, everywhere or in everyway. You said he didn't persecute Protestants. He did so. Why can't you just move on from your error?
"I erred in making a false assumption about his entire rule, but Spain did move slowly toward religious tolerance in that time frame."
You were wrong. You were entirely WRONG about Franco. That's what I said. I was right. You were wrong. Deal with it.
"The purpose of the extended post was to demonstrate that there have been Catholic rulers and political philosophers who were not authoritarian, repressive, or corporatist."
None of that changed your error. Nor did any of that change or alter anything I said, or show that I made a single error in this thread in any way.
"Also, as time progressed, Franco gradually went away from that model in his governance of Spain."
And he still persecuted Protestants which you denied. You were wrong. I was not. Move on.
