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 1616 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 1440 Views
You know, next time you tell people to not reopen certain debates... Legolas - 07/11/2010 09:28:21 PM 1287 Views
Does Spain distinguish between secular and sacramental marriage? Joel - 08/11/2010 01:10:47 AM 1197 Views
I would assume so, but can't say for sure. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:27:01 AM 1112 Views
Well, that's the out then. Joel - 08/11/2010 11:00:14 PM 1178 Views
I looked it up for you both. Lews_TherinThelamon - 09/11/2010 08:38:55 PM 1121 Views
Pfft, if you trust the AMERICANS.... Joel - 09/11/2010 08:52:58 PM 1092 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 1012 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 7428 Views
But that's personal issues of the clergy and whatnot involved. It's not doctrine Cannoli - 13/11/2010 02:20:38 AM 1091 Views
Spain doesn't have to deal with Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause. Joel - 10/11/2010 12:25:05 PM 1376 Views

Well, I'm no seminarian, let alone a priest. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:46:55 PM 1330 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 477 Views

Re: she's lesbian. TaskmasterJack - 08/11/2010 01:14:32 AM 1056 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 1076 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 1063 Views
dang. how big and fancy is this cathedral going to be? *NM* LadyLorraine - 07/11/2010 09:28:44 PM 572 Views
Huge, but mostly it's just been built very slowly for financial reasons. Legolas - 08/11/2010 10:23:32 AM 1173 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 1148 Views

Ah, classic communist logic. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:17:48 PM 1048 Views
No Camilla - 09/11/2010 08:20:21 PM 1116 Views
Yeah, you pretty much can. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 11:09:57 PM 1108 Views
Re: Yeah, you pretty much can. Camilla - 09/11/2010 11:12:43 PM 1200 Views
It's the wrong question to ask, however. Joel - 13/11/2010 10:53:00 PM 1296 Views
I wouldn't expect anything less of him. *NM* everynametaken - 08/11/2010 02:28:36 AM 520 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 558 Views
Again: The Pope doesn't oppress anyone. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 03:40:19 AM 1167 Views
Awesome, except he's attacking people leaving, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/11/2010 04:30:02 AM 508 Views
I would too. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 05:08:37 AM 1062 Views
Yes, we know you would. *NM* jh - 08/11/2010 04:35:54 PM 556 Views
well fine, but you're telling them to leave, and attacking them for doing so. LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:18:45 PM 964 Views
And here come the ad hominem attacks. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:32:23 PM 1113 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 587 Views
Except we're not ordering them to leave. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 12:46:46 AM 1083 Views
So if you are Darth Vader, snoopcester - 09/11/2010 10:19:25 AM 1091 Views

Glad someone finally got the joke. Dragonsoul - 09/11/2010 08:18:25 PM 1340 Views
Did you hear the Church have stopped approving applications for people to officially leave, Stephen - 08/11/2010 07:13:15 PM 1073 Views
lol, so they're taking notes from the LDS church now? LadyLorraine - 08/11/2010 07:19:39 PM 984 Views
Not at all. Dragonsoul - 08/11/2010 09:29:29 PM 1071 Views
Yeah, I'm with Dragonsoul on this one beetnemesis - 08/11/2010 09:39:13 PM 961 Views
