: Qx: Yes, it's called overlooking the human costs of Catholicism (not to mention other forms of established religion). BTW, I can get along with "liberation theology" better than right wing religious fundamentalist worldviews but what the hell is a Communist doing defending Catholicism?

DAMMIT, let me believe what I fucking like! i didn't try to convert you, did I? For teh record, I'm not a Communist or a Catholic. I'm not a communist because I suspect that total public wonership of everything may not be the best suituation to satisfy the majority of people, though it woudl certainly better than what we have today. i would look for somthing more like 80% state owned, 20% private or 90% state owned, 10% private. I'm CERTAINLY not a Marxist, precsiely because of teh atheistic implications. Smarter men than me or you have synthesized communism and Catholicism, by the way. Does the name Cardenal ring a bell?

criticize catholicism all you wnat, but please don't attack my sincerity or intellectual legitimacy, and don't try to piigeonhole me into soem preodrained scheme of teh universe.
