Hi MM - I do not wish to carelessly interrupt your discussion, neither of you need any help from me, and I cannot add any weight to American political/religious issues.


I am here simply to speak as a Roman Catholic and to say this , a little off-topic but important since it has been introduced. Perhaps more important than the issues of the current election process even.


“A Godless theology of hate that no one dared try to stop for a thousand years produced a harvest of hate." (quote)



As a catholic I consider this statement to be true, but I would even suggest 2000 years is nearer the case. I consider it to be reason for the predicament of the Jews, springing as it did from the political considerations of The Roman Empire, when the gospels were introduced, and which is the stumbling block for the Church. I believe that these gospel matters should be confronted by the Church, and until this happens my conscience does not allow me to attend the Passions at easter. Many a long year ago I made these feelings known through The Universe catholic publication. This has been the basis of the suffering of the Jews, who, of course, were indeed the early Christian numbers, pre-Rome.

I look forward to this situation being rectified, which is necessary if the Church is to continue to grow and live, because in the last resort good can only be based on truth as known, in my opinion.




"It was "Jews deserved Hitler" -was the nail in Hagee's coffin." (quote)




MM - I feel that this statement deserves to be the nail in anyone's coffin.


Ok guys, please carry on without any more from me, just tidying up. I have no wish to stir up a hornets' nest. I shall now take my leave of this thread. Thanks for your attention.
