organized patriarchal religion underpins patriarchy --
and patriarchy and their authority were under attack from the Youth Revolution --
a revolution which the right likes to suggest was simply about sex, but it was
about a great deal more -- *
Richard Scaife financed Dobson's group -- and other rw wealthy funded Bauer's group --
on and on, you know the song!
This Pope has made clear that those in control of the Vatican are not only continuing
to move the church to the right, but that they are moving to Evangelicalism!
So, this isn't about some lower echelon troops -- rather it is the same old story that
elites finance/propagandize a movement and thugs join. That's all.
It is the rightwing in the Vatican still in rage at Vatican II which was put in place
by Pope John XXIII to make the church a democracy, to give it a humane and compassionate
face -- and to ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CATHOLICS HAVE A RIGHT TO USE THEIR OWN PERSONAL COSNCIENCE
TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHETHER OR NOT TO USE ARTIFICIAL BIRTH CONTROL -- or any other issue!
Same with the "pro-life" movement -- it was financed by white militia groups --
and volunteers to picket at clinics were picked up at Methadone clinics and PAID.
The right wing can only rise on violence -- political violence -- assassinations --
That's why it's been necessary from the outset -- 11/22/63 -- to create a more AGGRESSIVE
political arena, from Pat Buchanan's/GE/Crossfire to today's armed Tea Party!
Elites radicalized the NRA -- and used it to target not only liberals and moderates in
the Democratic Party, but liberals and moderates in their own party -- thereby moving the
Congress far to the right --
Tea Party is financed by Koch Bros -- and run out of Dick Armey's Freedom Works to guarantee
them publicity.
NOT UNLIKE KOCH BROS FUNDING OF THE DLC which infiltrated and co-opted the Democratic Party --
influencing its agenda, its choice of candidates and even its presidential candidates!!

Indeed, in 1972, when the details began to come out about a break-in at Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate Hotel, Mae immediately recognized personnel and modus operandi from nine years of assassination research, while the mainstream press continued to refer to Watergate as a "caper" and "a third-rate burglary." And so it came to pass that while Rabbi Magnin was entertaining Richard Nixon at his home in Los Angeles, his daughter Mae was revealing the President's role in an incredible conspiracy. Meanwhile, she also perceived an assassination plot, not merely against specific individuals, but against the entire counterculture that was burgeoning at the time.
"I realized that in this country we had a revolution--of housing, food, hair style, clothing, cosmetics, transportation, value systems, religion--it was an economic revolution, affecting the cosmetics industry, canned foods, the use of land; people were delivering their own babies, recycling old clothes, withdrawing from spectator sports. They were breaking the barriers where white and black could rap in 1967. This was the year of the Beatles, the summer of Sergeant Pepper, the Monterey Pop Festival, Haight-Ashbury, make your own candle and turn off the electricity, turn on with your friends and laugh--that's what life was all about."
