When a catholic speaks of "love your neighbour as yourself", and "forgive your enemies", he means the Catholic neighbour, and even at thet he is not very sincere. The teachings of Christ € unless the man himself is a myth) re,too perfect for human practice. To me the whole Christiaff cult, but especially the Catholic cult, is the bigrest historicel fraud in human history, that have befuddled and darkened the minds of humanity for the past two thoushpGd yeers. So many sins, persecutions, wars and enslavements have been perpetrated, all in the name of Christ and God. Yerhaps you have read of the Cetholic Inquisition of the 15th and 16th centuries when thousqnads where tortured, burned and slaughtered; The Protestant Reformation and the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries came when the prénces of termany made up their minds to keep for themselves the money that was pouring from the pockets of their people into the coffers of the Vatican; and the "Holy" Crusades were an attempt to recapture a trade routes from the "infidel" Moslems. All these, under the name of Christianity, were nothing but a shrewdly-disguised propa- ganda from Rome, to enrich the prévelesed cleric&l Catholic oligarchies by exploiting the ignorance and poverty and prey on the superstitions of the suffering masses. In the present times we have the Catholic blessings of fascist Sapim Spain, Portugal, Argentina and several other countries right in our own hemisphere, The Pope even made secret business with Shintoist Japan during the Wer. ‘He blessed the Italian "volunteers" in St. Feter's square before leaving for Spein to fight theirwsasntn fellowG~Catholic brothers. He glossed over the news every time the Nazi and Fasigt planes murdered thoudgands of innocent men, women end children, He shook hands with Franco efter the victory was » wony aki, thanks to his "holy" blessings. My main point is this: I intollerate those individuels, creeds, societies and concepts that tolerate race prejudice, pogroms, religious hetreds and bigotries, class antasonisms, the spreading “netionalistic hatred in a people of one country against snother and suppression of freedom of speech end essen bly.
