Just make a list of Catholic countries and a list of Protestant countries, check who the most advanced are and then come back to me.

I'm still pissed off at the Catholic Church for interfering with the last Presidential elections in the United States. Some bastard Catholic Bishop claimed no Catholic should vote for Kerry since Kerry was divorced and his plateform said he would uphold the US law which alowed abortions. That Cathlic spokesman also called upon the excommunication of Kerry for the same reasons as above.
As far as I'm concerned the RCC couldn't get more political then that. They're lucky I'm not in charge because I would have revoked the RCC's nonprofit status (only nonpolitical organizations can legally hold nonprofit status) and then I would have confiscated most of their property when they couldn't pay the massive tax bill. That would teach those damn priests to keep their opinions to themselves.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Have you ever been to Latin America? I wouldn't call them advanced compared to the first world. Even the industrialized parts of Asia are better off then most of Latin America. The most powerful Catholic countries in Europe are France & Italy (with Spain and Poland much further down) while the most powerful Protestant countries in Europe are the UK & Germany ( with secondary powers in Scandinavia & Holland). The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa were founded by Protestants and still remain very influenced by Protestant ideas.They created the biggest religion in the world, and the countries following it are the most advanced in the world. Loosers.
I'd say Japan and South Korea are at least as advanced as the leading Catholic states and with many of the most powerful countries in the world being Protestant (at least in tradition) it is hard to claim Catholics countries are the most advanced, most developed, or richest.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Sorry, for assuming that you actually appreciated the changes of Vatican II.What I meant is that after Vatican 2 it looked like the church was gearing up for the 21st century. But with Paul VI and now John Paul II we (well, not me, I left some 20 years ago) are back in the 19th century.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Canada is technically the leading predominantly Catholic state.I'd say Japan and South Korea are at least as advanced as the leading Catholic states and with many of the most powerful countries in the world being Protestant (at least in tradition)
S. Korea has also rather taken to Christianity over the past while.

France, Italy and Spain are also up there. So 4-8 is pretty good, considering that the others are the UK, US and Germany for the protestant nations.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

FYI, this catholic versus protestant countries argument is excedingly dumb. Germany is as much a catholic country as protestant. The US is about a quarter catholic too. Northern Italy is just as advanced as Germany. Austria is no less advanced than other European countries and is catholic. The most productive country in the world per capita is Luxembourg and is catholic. Ireland is about top of the tables for production per capita. Etc.Last edited by DanS; March 27, 2005, 23:18.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Like in what? There are stuff in which Poland has reasons to be proud of. For example, Poland produces the best amphetamine in the world....Originally posted by Comrade Tassadar
Well actually, yes it is.
China is a tyrant state. And India, if not for the hindu fanatics, would have a catholic prime minister right now...Also, China and India are the upcoming powers that will eclipse your pathetic Christian states
Also, do not try to predict future.

I was talking about Christian countries, not just Catholic ones.
It was the right stance. Catholics should not vote on people who want to allow murder of innocent children.Originally posted by Oerdin

It's morality, not pure politics. Voting on someone willing to legalise abortion is like voting in favour of legalising abortion, and catholics should not do it. You're an enemy of religious freedom."I realise I hold the key to freedom,

And this changed how many votes? Zero. Apparently, you are pissed off because of something that had no impact on the election.I'm still pissed off at the Catholic Church for interfering with the last Presidential elections in the United States.

What was telling was how Kerry responded to it. Kerry looked uncomfortable when any question about his faith came up. Whenever any question of Bush's faith came up, Bush just kept hitting the balls out of the ballpark.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

China occupies Tibet and fills it with Chineese.
It destroys buddhist temples and makes harm to monks, it persecutes catholics trying to force them to denounce obediance to the pope. Its officials are killing Tibetan children with hammers. It's just declared a will to use force against Taiwan. Cultural Revolution. Square of Heavenly Peace (??), Uygurs, support for Nth Korea,
occupation of part of Kashmir, support for maoist guerillas...
Do you say I'm not right and Sonia wasn't supposed to become prime minister?You know nuthin' about India.
In fact I do not.You don't listen to weather forecasts?
If You forecasted weather having some competence in it, I would perhaps believe You. But no-one's able to say anything about political future but rough guesses.
