Catholics Against Rudy website is launched with a very interesting omission:
vox-nova notices they are against Rudy because of his stand on abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia and gay marriage but they don't mention torture which Rudy loves and Christ didn't.

"Remember, torture is an intrinsically evil act that attacks the God-given human dignity of the person, an act that can never be justified, and condemned in the strongest terms by the Church. And yet Rudy does justify it. When asked specifically if he supported the Khmer Rouge-perfected waterboarding technique, he replied without hesitation that "I would tell the people who had to do the interrogation to use every method they can think of". For a Catholic, this is as beyond the pale as arguing in favor of abortion."

http://www.vox-nova.com/2007/07/catholics-selectively-against-rudy.html

But my favorite part of the debate comes here:

"Only hours later, the site did indeed add "torture" to its list of issues. Unlike the others though, it has no content. Well: except for the words "coming soon." Like the Republican conscience."

1. Well, they DID have that Inquistion thing a while back. Maybe they're touchy about it

2. Uh...the inquistition still exists
Its name was changed 7 December 1965 (no that's not a typo) to Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith from Holy Office which was the name it was changed to from Universal Inquisition in 1908.

The head of the Inquisition from 25 Nov 1981 when he was appointed until Joseph Ratzinger 19 Apr 2005 when he was elected Pope was Joseph Ratzinger.

From the Catholic church's own website.
