I hope I didn't foment this orgy of Cat bashing.

LVDA, from their name, are probably not consciously pro-Church. Aztlan is the idealization of the southwestern US area of precolumbian times.

Please, the Catholic Church is a major, million dollar institution with worldwide

offices and convents. Do you think the pope really loses any sleep at night

over Catholic bashing as he and the Vatican sit on their fortune.

The pendejos at Voz de Aztlan are anything but pre-columbia. They are

a misappropriation of Aztlan--kind of like that fucked up dreamworks move--

and their sentiments are more conservative, western, European, pro-Catholic

and white than anything else. If they really were precolumbia they wouldn't

bother with putting out such bullshit, but as others on this website have

intelligently recognized, these ignorant fucks are obvious not who they

say they are. Please remember the history of the use of counterintelligence

against social movements and resistance.

paz,

The Catholic Church is a sex-negative totalitarian entity. It should be taxed. The current pope is a right-wing creep who won't die. He is anti liberation theology and supports fascist regimes everywhere. The Church has never left medieval thinking and wants to exert social control and mind control over its followers. Mysticism is okay but capitalistic organized religion is ideologically repugnant.
