"...the country was effectively run by the Catholic church for 300 years.

I had no idea. I do remember a Philippine that worked for us that had a pray the rosary sticker on his car. I remember he was a very pleasant person and that he went to mass every day. Still in those hot hellish countries the only reprieve from life is probably the Church, maybe for them the Church is a good thing. After all we can't all expect drive thru McDonalds and Disney World. The promises the Church offered are no different than those modern conveniences and entertainment.

Are you intending to give any citations of your charges, or just continue to parrot them over and over here? I know your opinion of the church. What's not clear is whether it is just an opinion of one anti-church bigot.
