catholicism?

Question

is it me, or is catholicism just the most un-American movement we've got going in this country?

Answer 1

No.

ANY religion, or politically active entity, that imposes it's moral stance and beliefs, or uses it morality, to limit the freedom and liberties of other people is un-American. Freedoms limited for civl reasons, voted on by the entire population of a state or the country are the only acceptable limitations to freedom.

Answer 2

It's you.

"Brave New World" atheist liberalism is the most un-American movement we've got going in this country.

Answer 3

Un-American in what way? The millions of dollars in charity to help the poor, the American patriotism demonstrated by the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organizations in the U.S., assisting newcomers to this country, outstanding educational programs for American parochial school children, or something else?

Answer 4

It's you - the most un-American movement is Bush's attack on liberty - the Patriot Act.

Answer 5

Actually, the most un-American thing we've got going is bigotry and hatred of other races and religions. So it's you -- in more ways than one.

Answer 6

Don't believe me. Here are the actual words of President Lincoln regarding the complete Papal involvement in causing the Civil War:

President Abraham Lincoln himself did write and say: “This war would never have been possible without the sinister influence of the Jesuits. We owe it to Popery that we now see our land reddened with the blood of her noblest sons. Though there were great differences of opinion between the South and North, on the question of slavery, neither Jeff Davis nor any one of the leading men of the Confederacy would have dared to attack the North, had they not relied on the promise of the Jesuits, that, under the mask of Democracy, the money and the arms of the Roman Catholics, even the arms of France, were at their disposal if they would attack us.” President Lincoln.

Furthermore, the direct and constant involvement of Pope Pius IX is also evident in his attempt to prolong the war by pledging support in a letter to Confederate President Jefferson Davis in 1863 in which the Pope pledged his sympathy to the Southern cause, that there were people loyal to their cause in the North and all around the world. That when this letter was published to encourage support in 1863, it did have the opposite effect whereby of 144,000 Irishmen that enlisted, 104,000 deserted after the recognition of the Confederacy by the Pope.

That because of the direct and deliberate involvement of the Vatican and Pope Pius IX in deliberately destabilizing the United States, the Roman Catholic Church is directly responsible for the death of 498,332 people because of the Civil War and the ensuing decades of misery and cost it caused.

Answer 7

Huh? Un-American? Hierarchy? Philosophy? I don't get it.

Answer 8

I can't comment on it being un-American.

But I can say that its not Christian.

I'm not happy about the need to point that out, but it is the truth. The sad fact is the RCC left the truth a long time ago.
