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 1617 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 1442 Views
You know, next time you tell people to not reopen certain debates... Legolas - 07/11/2010 09:28:21 PM 1288 Views
Does Spain distinguish between secular and sacramental marriage? Joel - 08/11/2010 01:10:47 AM 1199 Views
I would assume so, but can't say for sure. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:27:01 AM 1113 Views
Well, that's the out then. Joel - 08/11/2010 11:00:14 PM 1179 Views
I looked it up for you both. Lews_TherinThelamon - 09/11/2010 08:38:55 PM 1123 Views
Pfft, if you trust the AMERICANS.... Joel - 09/11/2010 08:52:58 PM 1093 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 1015 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 7429 Views
But that's personal issues of the clergy and whatnot involved. It's not doctrine Cannoli - 13/11/2010 02:20:38 AM 1092 Views
Spain doesn't have to deal with Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause. Joel - 10/11/2010 12:25:05 PM 1377 Views

Well, I'm no seminarian, let alone a priest. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:46:55 PM 1331 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 478 Views

Re: she's lesbian. TaskmasterJack - 08/11/2010 01:14:32 AM 1057 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 1077 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 1064 Views
dang. how big and fancy is this cathedral going to be? *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/11/2010 09:28:44 PM 573 Views
Huge, but mostly it's just been built very slowly for financial reasons. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:23:32 AM 1174 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 1149 Views

Ah, classic communist logic. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:17:48 PM 1049 Views
No Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:20:21 PM 1117 Views
Yeah, you pretty much can. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 11:09:57 PM 1109 Views
Re: Yeah, you pretty much can. Camilla - 09/11/2010 11:12:43 PM 1201 Views
It's the wrong question to ask, however. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:53:00 PM 1297 Views
I wouldn't expect anything less of him. *NM* everynametaken - 08/11/2010 02:28:36 AM 521 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 559 Views
Again: The Pope doesn't oppress anyone. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 03:40:19 AM 1169 Views
Awesome, except he's attacking people leaving, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/11/2010 04:30:02 AM 509 Views
I would too. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 05:08:37 AM 1063 Views
Yes, we know you would. *NM* jh - 08/11/2010 04:35:54 PM 557 Views
well fine, but you're telling them to leave, and attacking them for doing so. LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:18:45 PM 965 Views
And here come the ad hominem attacks. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:32:23 PM 1114 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 588 Views
Except we're not ordering them to leave. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 12:46:46 AM 1084 Views
So if you are Darth Vader, snoopcester - 09/11/2010 10:19:25 AM 1092 Views

Glad someone finally got the joke. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:18:25 PM 1341 Views
Did you hear the Church have stopped approving applications for people to officially leave, Stephen - 08/11/2010 07:13:15 PM 1074 Views
lol, so they're taking notes from the LDS church now? LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:19:39 PM 985 Views
Not at all. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:29:29 PM 1072 Views
