And the Vatican was silent during WWII, because their team was represented by the Axis.

The New York Times editorial on December 25, 1941 (Late Day edition, p. 24):
"The voice of Pius XII is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness enveloping Europe this Christmas... he is about the only ruler left on the Continent of Europe who dares to raise his voice at all... the Pope put himself squarely against Hitlerism... he left no doubt that the Nazi aims are also irreconcilable with his own conception of a Christian peace."

The New York Times editorial on December 25, 1942 (Late Day edition, p. 16) states:
"This Christmas more than ever he is a lonely voice crying out of the silence of a continent... Pope Pius expresses as passionately as any leader on our side the war aims of the struggle for freedom when he says that those who aim at building a new world must fight for free choice of government and religious order. They must refuse that the state should make of individuals a herd of whom the state disposes as if they were lifeless things."

While Protestants were giving away large chunks of "Catholic" Europe to Hitler who managed to kill at least 3 Million Catholics in Poland, were was the snake handlers you were so fond of Kenny?

I don't deny the Church has faults to numerous to list here, but I am sick of misinformed idiots posting the same crap they read on the "Internets" with origins from the same half baked religious wackos you claim to despise.

Up next, Ken explains how the Catholic Church is really "The Great Whore" and Obama is the "Anti-Christ".
