Uh yeah because Franco was worse than the communists.... Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 08/11/2010 03:43:55 AM
I think if the last century has shown us anything, it's that life in long lived fascist regimes (Mussolini's Italy, Franco's Spain) is far more preferable to, say, life in long lived communist regimes (Stalin's Russia, Mao's China, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, ect.).

The body count speaks for itself. The Church made the right choice then, and it's making the right choice now.

Pope criticises gay marriage and abortion at cathedral consecration in Spain Stephen - 07/11/2010 08:18:06 PM 1359 Views
Can't wait to see what he says about sanctity of life next time he's in TX.... Joel - 07/11/2010 08:51:41 PM 1179 Views
You know, next time you tell people to not reopen certain debates... Legolas - 07/11/2010 09:28:21 PM 1065 Views
Does Spain distinguish between secular and sacramental marriage? Joel - 08/11/2010 01:10:47 AM 936 Views
I would assume so, but can't say for sure. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:27:01 AM 870 Views
Well, that's the out then. Joel - 08/11/2010 11:00:14 PM 948 Views
I looked it up for you both. Lews_TherinThelamon - 09/11/2010 08:38:55 PM 883 Views
Pfft, if you trust the AMERICANS.... Joel - 09/11/2010 08:52:58 PM 878 Views
I'm more looking forward to how the Texans affirm their support for the institution like Spain Cannoli - 09/11/2010 11:36:16 PM 750 Views
The Catholic Church as a whole is opposed to capital punishment, and is fairly vocal about it. Legolas - 09/11/2010 11:55:18 PM 7209 Views
But that's personal issues of the clergy and whatnot involved. It's not doctrine Cannoli - 13/11/2010 02:20:38 AM 866 Views

Well, I'm no seminarian, let alone a priest. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:46:55 PM 1119 Views
Now that is the way to protest against the Pope. I wish people had thought of that here. *NM* Tim - 07/11/2010 09:02:51 PM 356 Views
The girl on girl kissing? Hell, yeah. TaskmasterJack - 07/11/2010 09:23:17 PM 825 Views

lol sorry. I wasn't trying to come off all offended or like I was trying to spoil your joke LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 01:26:54 AM 843 Views
Referring to the 1930s and then talking of re-evangelization is a rather painful gaffe, I must say. Legolas - 07/11/2010 09:13:19 PM 854 Views
dang. how big and fancy is this cathedral going to be? *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/11/2010 09:28:44 PM 454 Views
Huge, but mostly it's just been built very slowly for financial reasons. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:23:32 AM 962 Views

Was he worse? We'll never know, seeing how he was the one that came out on top. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:17:10 AM 936 Views

Ah, classic communist logic. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:17:48 PM 817 Views
No Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:20:21 PM 863 Views
Yeah, you pretty much can. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 11:09:57 PM 889 Views
Re: Yeah, you pretty much can. Camilla - 09/11/2010 11:12:43 PM 969 Views
It's the wrong question to ask, however. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:53:00 PM 1031 Views
I wouldn't expect anything less of him. *NM* everynametaken - 08/11/2010 02:28:36 AM 392 Views
Yeah, wouldn't it be hilariously awesome if he was, like, "Dudes, gay marriage ain't so bad." *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/11/2010 02:58:48 AM 450 Views
Again: The Pope doesn't oppress anyone. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 03:40:19 AM 887 Views
Awesome, except he's attacking people leaving, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/11/2010 04:30:02 AM 396 Views
I would too. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 05:08:37 AM 831 Views
Yes, we know you would. *NM* jh - 08/11/2010 04:35:54 PM 435 Views
well fine, but you're telling them to leave, and attacking them for doing so. LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:18:45 PM 721 Views
And here come the ad hominem attacks. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:32:23 PM 889 Views
No, it's more like a boss firing an employee and then bitching about them leaving. *NM* LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 10:43:56 PM 464 Views
Except we're not ordering them to leave. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 12:46:46 AM 866 Views
So if you are Darth Vader, snoopcester - 09/11/2010 10:19:25 AM 846 Views

Glad someone finally got the joke. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:18:25 PM 1053 Views
Did you hear the Church have stopped approving applications for people to officially leave, Stephen - 08/11/2010 07:13:15 PM 805 Views
lol, so they're taking notes from the LDS church now? LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:19:39 PM 768 Views
Not at all. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:29:29 PM 841 Views
Yeah, I'm with Dragonsoul on this one beetnemesis - 08/11/2010 09:39:13 PM 731 Views
