Your words implied that they spoke for Catholics. I'm just noting that their Catholicism disappears on questions of foreign policy.

How? Sending the Swiss Guard? Or the VAF (Vatican Airforce)?

Adding to my earlier reply upon discovering a bit of new data, dear boy. Just adding to. Piling on, if you like. :p Don't hate me for being better acquainted with the dictionary than yourself.

It oughtn't to be read that way, Griff. I wouldn't say their Catholicism disappears -- after all, it seems to underlay and underlie their entire editorial philosophy -- so much as they are conservatives who are Catholic; I'll not indulge in the "happen to be" phrase, for I don't think there's any mere coincidence to it.

I'm saying to the Pope, and the shade of the one before him, that being a peacenik isn't going to get the desired results, which are the stymieing of anti-democracy, anti-humanity religious bigots. These must be stopped, defeated, destroyed, defunded, and discredited in the hearts of men. Benedict is not trying to get this done.

Something like that, yes... you might have a look at Larry Gonick's "Cartoon History of the Universe" Vol 2 p. 223... yep.
