Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996

Hi, ‘Bina. It took me a moment to realize that that was Bloodsplatter TwoBreakfasts your cartoon referenced. When I did, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Where is the Catholic Church leading the moral outrage over the murders in Peru? Probably the same place they were when Pizarro invaded:passing the ammunition to the murderers and telling the indigenous to convert or die. And I’m Catholic so all you wingnuts keep your poison pens to yourself.
The church hierarchy is certainly selective in targeting its outrage, no? They would rather wring their hands over embryos and fetuses (forgetting entirely that God is the #1 abortion provider in the universe!) than help those already born to improve their circumstances. Not exactly what one expects of those who claim to follow Christ.
And of course, we already know what happens to bishops who speak out against the powerful–a certain Monsignor Romero in El Salvador did and suffered the consequences. The one comforting thought I have is that some who were complicit in his murder and those of the brave nuns will not go unpunished after all:
