ORIGINAL: BamaD To the direct "point" of the post, while Brazil may be predominantly Catholic I doubt that any priest praised the killer as a hero. Given that this was a tantrum over a domestic issue, rather than anything ideology driven, probably not. If you're arguing that the only clerics who support violence are Moslems, though, I remember quite a lot of blatant and overt support for the republicans from the Catholic clergy during the troubles over here, and one of the loudest mouthpieces for the loyalists (Ian Paisely) being a Presbyterian minister. You seem to have somewhat turned things upside down. Ministers protecting each other is one thing, them urging the population to murder everyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do is something else. I also think that if you check this out you will find that the case in Brazil is purely personal, which means that trying to compare it to what happened in Turkey is a ............STRAWMAN. If that's a strawman, why did you raise it over the thing in Brazil? Go back and read the thread, I didn't bring Brazil up, and I was pointing out one of the reasons that it had no part in the conversation.
