The last one did make me mad. The one before that was really cool.
The second one; I read it, Mum, and links took me farther — http://gukkhser.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/rabbit-trails/ — but anyway, I’m not well-read on WWII, so I can’t say much on that.
What this means is a) I have to read up on the Catholic doctrine of tyrannicide, and b) I have to read up on WWII, because Hitler’s case being “the best real-life example of what would have been justified tyrannicide,” according to Carroll, I need to first understand the stand of the Church, then learn what Hitler’s case was, exactly, and thus come to understand (hopefully) how it [tyrannicide being justified] applies to him. Based on that, I’ll have more to say on exactly why someone would say, “These groups feel they have the moral right to make explicit comparisons with the Nazis,” because to answer that question, I need to make a direct comparison of the morals of the Church and the morals of Nazis, which are obviously opposite [as shown quite clearly in the article quoted by Peace on abortion and Hitler], but it would be nicer to know enough to quote even more specifics.
sounds like a paper in the making, ais:)
