Ironic to me is the fact that evangelicals and the right wing were pro-abortion back in the 60s partly because the Catholics were against it!
John F Kennedy’s election as a Catholic was vigorously fought by the right wing too. And now we have five Catholics in the Supreme Court, thanks to them.

Considering the very long sordid history of the Catholic Church starting with the shenanigans of the early popes, the last 100+ years of pedophilia, their support of the Nazis during World War II, and the multitude of deaths of babies born from unwed mothers leaves leaves them with little moral standing.
Their current reprehensible, repulsive actions through the Thomas Moore society again reveals their true nature.
I don’t think that the Catholic Church actively supported the Nazis. Passively, they did, refusing to take a stand and condemn Fascist brutality. They certainly weren’t a group of Dieter Bonhoeffers, the German minister who died in a camp for challenging the Nazi regime.
I hear you, and yet, a blind eye is a blind eye. The Catholic Church agreed to stay silent about Hitler and Mussolini, at least in part, to protect their enormous wealth. They feared the fascists would plunder the church, or worse. Germany and Italy were predominantly Catholic. All of this is left out of most history books (it wasn’t until a college course on the history of Germany between the wars that filled in the many gaps for me).

"their enormous wealth" which is not taxed
Yes, Mark. I agree. Omission is also a sin.
