Sartesian's critique is on the money! Might I add one more crime of the Catholic Church - the preaching to its flock for over 15 centuries of the lie that the Jews killed Jesus, thus bearing a large responsibility for the many Jew-murdering pogroms, especially the ultimate one - The Nazi Holocaust. Only in the early 1960s did a Pope - John XXIII - denounce this vicious slander.
