Note the word "Almost" in the quote you pulled :>

And AFA "Catholic" goes, my experience growing up Jewish in a
neighborhood that was next to a Italian 'hood with  large black
community a mile or so away, was they're some of the most racist
motherfucking pissants on the planet. So is the Portuguese community in
the area I live now. Catholism, and it's 'liberation theology' that's
continually suppressed by their Vatican overlords is a BIG part of the
problem. That 'liberation theology' isn't intended to liberate anyone.
It's Catholicism's foothold into 3rd world nations so it can run their
cult scam there. Priest and nuns that actually believe in it usually end
up massacred, and the church is like 'tsk tsk...'

Catholicism is the Zionism of Christianity. A socio-political graft onto
Christianity, a philosophy useful for subverting and conquering people.
