There have been people who practiced religions of peace from time to time in the history of the human race. Small traces of them remain under the protection of real religions. What happened to most of the practitioners of religions of peace? We killed them. It's our custom. I assure you they're better off.
:p :p :p Apparently Dennis know more about what we are talking about than we do ...
I guess you didn't read my latest post?
sounds like more than one person needs to read the whole thread.
I'm not going to debate what constitutes a "devout follower of the faith" but money ties between the cartels and church have been noted for some time.
While officially, the Catholic Church condemns the drug trade and the overwhelming violence being perpetrated by the cartels, it is no secret that priests throughout Mexico have taken large sums of money from the drug traffickers to fund church projects and in one case, to even construct an entirely new cathedral.
In the past, many Mexican journalists have harshly criticized priests for accepting narcolimosnas, or drug-tithes, from cartel leaders.
In 2009, one Mexican bishop publicly defended his right to take the donations and even praised the cartels for their generosity.
