Oh my (Via The Truth About Keyes)
Apparently, somebody on the panel–it might have been him–actually enjoined folks that we should take a look at South American countries, where the heads of state aren’t even seen to go to church in public.
I wonder if he looks at what goes on in a lot of those countries. Maybe if they started going to church, the governments wouldn’t change so often. Maybe if they started respecting God, there wouldn’t be so many times when the military goes out of control and starts brutalizing the population, and so forth and so on. You never know.
That’s remarkably stupid. Remarkably.
1) Leaders are very Catholic in the region generally–though they don’t wear it on their sleeve.
2) The Catholic Church in Latin America is very tied into both conservative and radical politics so, umm…, Mr. Keyes might want to check in with the Pope on this one.
3) Mr. Keyes was a member of the Reagan administration’s foreign policy team, that helped to fund the right wing death squads that often targeted religious folks in Latin America–like nuns who were declared lesbians as if that had anything to do with their slaughter.
Don’t forget that the occupant of the White House never goes to church in spite of wearing it on his sleeve and dear Ronnie never attended either in spite of pretending to wear it on his sleeve.
