The Catholic "Blame America" Crowd

The Catholic "Blame America" crowd was in action this past November, as University of Dayton (Ohio) Catholics joined 19,000 other liberals for the annual protest outside the gates of the "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation" (WHINSEC) at Fort Benning, Georgia. WHINSEC is often called "SOA" for "School of the Americas," its former name.

This was reported in the Jan 27 issue of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio newspaper, The Catholic Telegraph, in an article titled, "Demonstrators Against SOA Feel Called by Faith."

For many years, Latin American nations have sent soldiers to train at WHINSEC. And then later on, some of these soldiers have been used by their governments to quell dissent, and in the 80's in El Salvador, were even accused of killing some priests and an archbishop.

So – are Catholics protesting outside of Latin American embassies, or going down to protest outside of Latin American military bases?

Of course not! It's just another Catholic excuse to "Blame America."

University of Dayton Father Gene Contadino, director of the "University Marianist Outreach" (how's that for a title), commenting on the protest said:

"I think as a Catholic university, you have to say something about peace. You have to say something about brutality...And so I think it's the job of every Catholic person."

Comment – Not surprisingly, Father and the article conveniently FORGOT "to say something about" the RELIGION in Latin America for the past 500 years – Roman Catholicism!

Pray daily that God protect the United States from the constant harassment and attacks of – the Roman Catholic Church.
