BK>>>>>> And, on top of that, the Catholic Church
supports unions. Has
 BK>>>>>> for over 100 years. Pope John Paul II restated it.

 TW>>>>> By Default they also in effect Suported the Holocost during
 TW>>>>> WWII!!!

 BK>>>>  Oh, and just how did they do that? Best estimates show the
 BK>>>>  Catholic Church saved more Jews than probably all other people
 BK>>>>  and organizations combined.

 JB>>> That is, in fact, true. Millions of Catholics as a result.

 BK>>  If you are saying millions of Jews converted to Catholic to
 BK>>  escape the Nazis, you have no idea what you are talking about.
 BK>>  First, it wouldn't work, the Nazis took off Jews who converted
 BK>>  before they took power. They did not care what religion you
 BK>>  were, if you had an ancester who was Jewish, I don't recall but
 BK>>  I think it was a grandparent, they took you. And it didn't even
 BK>>  matter if it was your grandfather or grandmother, IIRC.


 BK>>  The second point on which you are obviously in error is, the
 BK>>  total number was not millions. The number I read was over
 BK>>  800,000, but not millions, or even one million. And do you
 BK>>  really think all those Jews converted, then remained Catholic?
 BK>>  THey didn't even convert in the first place.


 JB> Exactly where did you an inkling of a clue that I said
 JB> millions of Jews converted to Catholicism?

 If that isn't what you meant here then you did a poor job of
 making yourself clear.

 IF that is your level of commuinication you must find it very
 difficult to communicate with anyone.

 What you may have meant is completely unclear in what you
 actually said.

 Though I do thank you for ascribing that heroism to Catholics,
 in the face of so many who want to attack them.
