>>- Catholic church assisting & blessing the extermination of Serbs in Croatia during WWII - the thirds plan (kill one, convert another, exile the third), and their assistance in helping the perpetrators, plus many of the SS, find refuge in South America. Also, the beatification of Aloisius Stepinac (an archbishop, IIRC) who was on top of this.
>>
>>- What was the name of that convent in Ireland where they kept girls in pretty much slavery deep into the XX century, for whatever it was they did?
>>
>>- Letting South-American priests on their own to be slaughtered by the dictatorships or black squads, while maintaining good relations with the same dictators
>>
>>- not condemning a single corporation for anything (I googled it a lot - found only two cases, one very local and one conditional) (googled again, zilch), while badmouthing almost everything else they don't like.

>>And that's only what I could remember on a short notice.

>BTW, I read that the Catholic church has taken the stance (via Fr Gabriel Funes) that believing in the possibility of extraterrestial life is not in contradiction with catholic doctrine. I wonder if the Galileo affair had anything to do with it? Perhaps they want to be ready to provide solace to all of the souls still here when aliens return in Dec 2012? :o)
