THIS AND THAT

Ah, what a time for organized religion.

The present day pope recently fast tracked the beatification and sainthood of Pope Pius XII. Pius XII was pope during the Third Reich, who has been strongly criticized for his lack of any opposition to the Holocaust. Thousands of Jews and Romani in Italy were transported to Auschwitz from a station very near the Vatican.

Last year, Benedict lifted an excommunication from a bishop Holocaust denier.

Interestingly, the institutionalized oppression of Romani in Rome escalates daily.

And then Pat Robertson announces that Haiti has been devastated by the earthquake because of a pact made between Haiti and the devil before the revoluntion from the French.

And the beat goes on.....
