*** The Ten Commandments tacitly authorizes Christians to make up any
goddamn lie they wish short of calumny to sell their brand of Christianity
to the unwary.
IMO the RCC would have been far better off to have let the Eugenio
Pacelli/Pius XII WW2 genocide issue die a natural death than to try to get
away with beatifying him.
As I see it: 'Tis better to let sleeping dogmatists lie and not to try
propagating lies about the mo-fos.
