This is rather interesting.  As an apostate Catholic I don't see much of the
liberal side.  However, I do occaisionally see the EXTREME right wing...

Every now and then, I intercept an issue of Michael Fighting; an extreme,
conservative, French-Canadian, Catholic propaganda sheet.  Their biggest hobby
horse is Social Credit (a bizzare economic theory that makes supply-side
theory believeable in comparison: they think the government should print
money and give it to everybody, and then business will boom to meet the
increase in demand.)  Another is public schools, another is property tax
(is church property taxed in Canada?), and another is television.

They are so extreme, that they believe all the limbs should be covered.
That may make sense in Canada....

Anyhow, I'm glad to hear that the RC church is reforming some of its
archaic ways.  Maybe they'll cause less misery that way.  I view them as
one of the lesser evils on the religious scene (at this time.)
