[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 515762, member: 11425"] wkmac, I went to your link and I will have to say, I don't think I could even bring myself to watch or read what appears to be anti-catholic vitriol from a disillusioned former priest. To blame Christianity, and in-particular Catholicism for all the woes that the Jewish people have experienced over time is just as disingenuous as the current trend, especially amongst acadamia, for blaming the Western white man as the cause for all the problems of the world. Well, I say bull**** to all of that. This ridiculous guilt some in the Western world feel over our outstanding success gets to be nauseating at times. Has the West done horrendous things? You bet! But when we add up the score card, what good the West has brought to the world is arguably greater than the bad. In any event, I take no blame and I offer no apologies for what my ancestors may or may not have done. In the end we are all individuals who must take responsibility for our, and ours alone, actions. As I have not read the book, if my reaction to what appears to be the thesis is wrong, I apologize and all I have to say is "nevermind". [/QUOTE]
