Doublecross the Code of the Catholic Church Paul Sunday, September 28, 2008

Question:

Written by political scientist David Ranan, Double Cross: The Code of the Catholic Church is a severe indictment of the many flaws, moral lapses, and outright crimes of the Catholic Church, ranging from parish sexual abuse scandals to complicity in genocide. Covering the Church's perpetration of human misery from pre-medieval times to the Crusades to its tacit cooperation with the Holocaust and its ills of the modern Day, Double Cross examines how the Church has structured its power base, policed thought among its members, engendered corruption, fostered violence particularly against non-Catholics, espoused anti-Semitism, and perhaps worst of all among modern-day offenses, denounced nearly all forms of family planning as well as condom use, thereby causing overpopulation and assisting the spread of AIDS particularly in the poorest nations that can least afford either. Extensively researched with numerous notes to clarify details and an index, Double Cross is a "must-read" for anyone involved in or affected by the Catholic Church, both Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

You are nothing more than a spindoctor.....try truth.

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Paul:

David Ranon is not a professional historian, and it shows. More than that, he is a bigoted hack with an axe to grind. He is a little man without the integrity to tell the truth.

The TRUTH sir is not in this book. But, if you are stupid enough to buy into it, rather than to read REAL historians who do not have axes to grind, then you will stew in your own juice.

As for me, I will follow the truth. I do not need to "spin" anything since I deal with the truth. Ranon, on the other hand, is a spinmaster that would make Hitler proud.

Try reading a REAL history of the Church such as the multi-volume history, The History of Christensom by Warren Carroll. These volumes contain historical research from historians with various backgrounds including Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, and Secular.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
