Waaay Off Topic
Up unti Jazzn's recent post (#227), the last three pages of posting have absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic. Bashing someone's church/religion for past misdeeds might be fun and all, but unless someone can demonstrate to me that the RCC's actions during the mid-XXth Century have something to do with the OP, I'm going to start handing out short suspensions so people can re-focus on the topic.
Comments? Take 'em to the appropriate thread.

    One can refute these arguments in several ways, among them pointing out that the religion under discussion does, in fact, have a record no better--or perhaps even worse--than comparable secular organizations.
    If that was the point, then I'm afraid it got rather lost in the back and forth. If you feel this line of argument is germane, then by all means continue. However, if it degenerates into a "yes it did", "no it didn't" kind of discussion, I will again admonish participants to focus more on the actual substance of the OP.
