Please stop lying.If christians actually believed the Bible they'd vote Democratic.
I believe that is what Moore is attempting to foster by doing such things and visiting the Pope about how evil capitalism is.
However, why is it that the Catholic Churches official position on abortion is that it is mass genocide while seemingly giving sermons on the evils of wall building and capitalism instead?
Perhaps it is the same reason the Catholic church was largely silent during the Holocaust.
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”

Yes, but Priests giving the Nazi salute were not manufactured.
You should do a little investigation no the issue.
From Wiki:
According to Robert A. Krieg, from the University of Notre Dame, this book is "an invaluable contribution to understanding the Catholic Church and the Holocaust." Phayer's main thesis, says Krieg, is that Pius XII privately helped Jews only to the extent that his efforts did not jeopardize two priorities in his foreign policy:
First, judging that the Church's primary enemy was not Nazism but Communism, the Pope wanted to maintain good ties with Germans and their government so that he could work with them to resist the spread of Communism into Europe. Second, concerned to protect Rome from destruction during the war, he did not want to say anything that might bring down the Luftwaffe's bombs upon Vatican City.[2]
Hitler feared the Catholic church coming out against the Nazi regime publically. That would have caused them many more problems.
Naturally, that would also have meant the destruction of the Vatican, but we can't have that, can we.
That's what happens when the religious delve into the political arena. Not very pretty, is it?
