Quite right. Fascism is just as self-regarding and Godless as Communism. In fact, Fascism is actually worse because, while Communists are quite open and honest about their atheism, Fascists pay lip service to the Church and pretend they are Christian, but their actions manifestly prove they are not.Fascism (that includes Franco) and Communism are both evil. He did not defend the faithful.That is nonsense.That is like the drug cartels who give money to the poor and build schools. It is designed to make people think they are good.Franco was not a hero. He was a fascist butcher.
This reminds me of a coworker I had many years ago, while I was going through RCIA. She heard I was converting, and asked which parish I was in. When I told her, her response was ‘Oh, they’re not Catholic’. It transpired that she was a sedevacantist, and considered any parish that was in communion with Rome to be ‘not Catholic’. She kindly lent me some books to read, and I was horrified. One of them, by some old French authoress whose name escapes me, was a book-length rant about how the American Revolution was an evil and Godless war, and that if the thirteen colonies wanted to please Christ, they should have remained in lawful subjection to George III. I had never before encountered such treasonous sentiments, and told the lady, who was American-born and -bred, as much. To her credit, she was quite understanding, and accepted the return of her books with grace. But I am afraid I tried to avoid her after that. It was very disturbing to meet a fellow citizen who not only did not recognise our country’s right to exist, but actually considered that said existence contravened God’s law.Catholicism is not a libertarian religion and ultimately rejects as erroneous and heretical Americanism. It has operated as autocratic for most of its time and supports hierarchy and order.
There is no need to " spit" the word dictator as the passage says. All there is to do is walk the walk: pick a place with a dictator,move there and experience it.the Church will immediately revert to the symphonic approach with the emerging dictatorships and kingdoms.
How was that good? They killed many of natives in to take their land. It was armed robbery. Not a just war.and conquering most of the best part of a continent
The americans may not have, the British did.In fairness they did both and most indians died from incidental disease they had no immunity to (and pox blankets is more myth than fact).
Fascinating.The Anglosphere tended to utilize Babylonian tactics of conquest (expel people to disorient them and remove their morale and kill those that resist) where as the Spaniards utilized Assyrian tactics of conquest (marry into the hierarchy of the society and subjugate the lower classes while converting all to Catholicism) either way, one side loses and the other wins.
There were massacres. See: Genocide of indigenous peoples - WikipediaIndians were not genocided either way.
