theweaselkingIreland's "The Journal" asks: Should the Catholic Church be forced to pay their slaves for the slave labour that the Catholic Church extorted from them?
The Catholic Church, for the record, owned slaves in Ireland until 1996. Many of their Irish slaves are still alive.
ETA: For the dumbass noob PMing me: I have no particular animosity to Catholicism that I do not also feel for Baptistness, homeopathy, Mormonism, Last Tuesdayism, Islam, the belief in fairies, dowsing, astrology, or the security of jre7u17 browser plugins. All are self-evidently nonsense to at least one degree, absolute faith in any is equally idiotic. You've just had a literally-a-Nazi pope resigning in disgrace over his role in the religion-wide conspiracy to enable child rapists to escape justice, recently. It makes you, briefly, sadly, relevant. If you'd like me to stop reposting Sad News That Exposes Catholicism As Morally-As-Well-As-Intellectually Indefensible, you should perhaps work to make your church morally defensible instead of frothing at me. Intellectually, you're fucked, but the intellectually indefensible get way fewer headlines here.
