'Sorry to interrupt your Catholic bashing.'

Sorry? That's a lie, isn't it. So why believe anything written by 'Rich Pav'?

Catholics are the worst enemies of Catholics. They caused their very existence; by lies, by censorship, by threat, by theft, and even by massacre. They abused and abuse them, and their children; even if they may appear magnanimous. So somebody needs to bash Catholics so that Catholics do not bash Catholics. I hope that's not too difficult to understand.

Now some MPs are Catholics. If they are Tories, or Liberal Democrats, they are liable to be of the nasty, Catholic-bashing variety, so there is nothing much to be done about them. If they are Labour MPs, they are liable to be inheritors of the bashed sort of Catholicism. These no doubt well-meaning people really do need to do a reality check. Every teaching that is distinctive of the Roman Catholic 'Church' facilitates removal of democracy and initiative and transfers control to an authoritarian hierarchy. Every, single one. The RCC does not teach literal six-day creation, though it admitted evolution slowly, only with reluctance; presumably having learned the sharp lesson of Galileo, which reduced general credibility.

But they cling to other fundamentalisms, that doubtless people like Broun would advocate, had the USA not been born more of Calvin than Rome. So Catholics are 'dogmatised' with infallibility, that stifles thought, and transubstantiation, that defies thought itself, and the complete absurdity of daft, double-minded Simon 'peter' being the Rock, the obvious blasphemy of it, that make literalism literally a crime. Rome was a criminal police state that today could not come into being without a world war like the last one. And yet, there are Labour MPs who sit in the Commons unaware of that fact. We cannot poke fun at Americans who only pretend that creation took place in 4004 BC while we treat the RCC as anything better than a dangerous, antisocial cult. Let's be consistent.
