Catholics preparing to behave badly

I am first a Catholic and far down the line, I am an American citizen.

It seems he is so upset over the Iraq war that he wants to renounce his citizenship. Except, of course, he isn't planning on going somewhere else: rather, he wants to change here to be a Christian (meaning Catholic) nation.

The first question the American cardinals will be asked when they go to Rome is, why didn’t they stop the war.
Um... maybe because they don't run the country? Apparently the Pope thinks they do, and apparently Jim O'Leary thinks they should.

He claims to have had a strong Catholic education. Which makes one wonder why he thinks letting the Pope run the country would result in less wars... or does a Catholic education not include things like "History?"

I used to think evangelicals were harmless. Now I think they are dangerous. I think this because of the recent Associated Press poll, which ran as follows:

Evangelicals 77 percent in favor of the war, Catholics 62 percent, mainline Protestants 62 percent, black Protestants 36 percent and nonreligious citizens 44 percent.

A majority of Catholics support the war as well... I suppose that makes them as dangerous as those nasty mainline Protestants.

Also, since there are fewer Evangelicals than Catholics, I think it makes the Catholics more dangerous.
