text: I don't "adhere" to a Protestant denomination, whatever that's supposed to mean. I attend Protestant services from time to time. I'm a cradle Catholic who remains interested in the church. NCR is the place I feel most comfortable discussing the things that interest me.
  
  I didn't introduce the subject of the church's alliances with fascism. I responded to someone else when you butted in with your nonsense. As it happens, the issue isn't unrelated to the OP: Catholic bishops could do more to promote the common good of the people of the United States by not supporting a clueless, vicious demagogue like Trump. But that train left the station.
