      I think it stands to reason to interpret most of these indictments not so much as being theological, and more of a political. The Catholic church has always been a socio-political force as much as a religious one, and it stands to reason that they would mistrust groups who would question their authority or threaten their hold on power.

      Fondly enough the people whose convictions would serve as the blueprint for Communism actually were a religious group, and their reasoning of why private property was an abomination was, essentially, a theological one. Of course the Diggers' convictions have far more in common with Anarchism and Agrarian Socialism but IIRC they were still referred back to by both Marxist theorists and Leninist theorists alike.

      But they were also protestants, so I guess that does make Communism heretical to Catholicism in a way...

      Freemasons are actually encouraged to keep their religion, so it's kinda ironic he says that.

    Looks like they are well on track to purging everyone from the church. They have been in steady decline for ages. Only ones left will be the pedos.

    Shouldn't they be more concerned with pedophiles?

      RTFA... they are attempting to blame the pedophilia crisis within the church on homosexuals.

      They have also tried to weaponize the Pennsylvania grand jury report released in August that named more than 300 “predator priests” to scapegoat homosexuals, never mind that many of the 1,000 victimized children were girls.

          I imagine it's a bastardization of RTFM and means Read the F&!* Article.
