No, there's no hate in comparing the Catholic Church to Hitler's chief propagandist.

No hate whatsoever in comparing Goebbels use of propaganda with the propaganda techniques invented and developed by the Catholic Church.

Truth is not hate. Goebbels learned from the Catholic Church, the inventors of propaganda.

Plenty of hate. Your posts are sopping with it.

Truth is not hate.

Your comparisons of Catholicism and Nazism ar enot truth.

Goebbels learned from the Catholic Church, the inventors of propaganda.

Grotesque distortions repeated often seem to be what the anti-Catholic bigots have learned from Goebbels.

I suspect you will keep repeating them.

You see, even the people at wikipedia get the distinction:
Etymology

The word originates from the Latin name Congregatio de Propaganda Fide ("Congregation for the Spreading of the Faith") of a congregation founded by Pope Gregory XV in 1622. This department of the pontifical administration was charged with the spread of Catholicism and with the regulation of ecclesiastical affairs in mission territory.

The Latin adjective propaganda, which is a form of the gerundive of the verb propago (from pro- "forth" + *pag-, root of pangere "to fasten"), means "that which is to be spread" and does not carry a connotation of information, misleading or otherwise. The modern sense dates from World War I, when the term evolved to be mainly associated with politics.

It is the secular world that took a word meaning spreading the faith and turned it into lying about politics.
