Hypocrisy is funny

"El cardenal de Madrid es quien apadrina con mayor entusiasmo la masiva beatificación de católicos asesinados entre 1934 y 1938, los años en los que los obispos creen que se produjo la mayor persecución religiosa de la historia. El Vaticano ha beatificado o canonizado ya a 977 de esas víctimas y hace un mes anunció que hay en cartera otras 500 personas, del total de 10.000 que quiere elevar a los altares el episcopado español."
El Pais

---I don't think we should forget all of the people who were killed by the Republicans and anarchists and communists either...I'd also have to say that the greatest religious persecution in history probably came a few years after the Spanish Civil War...but how can you argue in one line that we should forget and then commemorate in the next breath?
