I don\u2019t feel the immediate need to exclusively focus on Indians slaughtered, slaves\u00a0owned,\u00a0 minorities discriminated against, women oppressed, homosexuals persecuted,\u00a0witches\u00a0burned, A-bombs dropped, Imperialism, racism, sexism, fundamentalism,\u00a0puritanism, ignorance, boorish behavior, intellectual inferiority, or\u00a0inevitable\u00a0communist tyranny. \u00a0If anything, focusing on the majority of the list is probably the number one reason we will likely end up at the end of the list.<\/p>\n

I say this because, as I meandered around this morning and went to CAEI, I saw two<\/a> posts <\/a>running with the whole \u2018all countries are equally better than America\u2019 mantra, with numbers of comments jumping in to sound the great Amen. \u00a0A growing tendency in not a few Catholic websites in recent years. \u00a0A pity.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
