Without Roman Catholics there would have been no significant
Central America solidarity work in my area during the '80s.
Without Roman Catholics and Mennonites we would have had
a far weaker Anti-Gulf War Coalition. The most dependable
comrades Jan and I have locally are three Roman Catholics.
And see Lenin's comments on Father Gopin and the importance
of there being thousands more like Father Gopin. (He called
Trotsky a blowhard for not seeing that importance.)
