Your supposition stinks because:
1. Countries that are predominantly Roman Catholic are not that way becasue of their religion but because they are
poor. The poor tend to cling to the Church for hope.
2. Countries that are predominantly Roman Catholic are not governed by the Churrch but by corrupt politicians who
usurp and use the Church and prey upon the poor.
3. France, Italy, Soain, Portugal, and Ireland are not 3rd world countries, are not ruled by dictators, participate
in the European economy system, and although there is some socialism, it is not Church sponsored.
4. Many of the Eastern European countries that are predominantly Roman Catholic fir your profile not because of the
CHutch, but because we allowed Russia to take them over after WW2. Communism made those conditions.
5. Ever looked at the violence going on in the US? Makes some of those 2nd and 3rd world countries look like fluffy
clouds.

I could go on and on. Your comparison of Roman Catholicism to Islam is nasty and unwarranted.

An amazing post. You shocked me Katy. I guess you do have it in you to write a
decent post once in a while. Attagirl.
