Al Qaeda = Catholic Church (for military purposes)

No one can honestly deny (the evidence precludes the possibility) that the U.S government officially equated al Qaeda and the Catholic Church (and others) in establishing a military policy against "extremism." Let me underscore the point: the evidence (the slide on the Army's website, which didn't get there by accident) puts the Church in the same driving category as al Qaeda.  It demonstrates that our government was/is formulating policy based on a postulated *functional* equivalence between al Qaeda and the Church. Consider this command: "Do unto the Church as you do unto al Qaeda"?  

Robert Hockett has offered an objection to what I wrote.  He doesn't remotely touch the substance of my particular question, viz.:  Why are people not OUTRAGED that our government has DEMONSTRABLY lumped Catholics (and other Christians) together with al Quaeda (and other bad actors) for equal treatment as "extremists.'

Look, Bob (sic), I do denonce our (does the posessive adjective discomfit you?) goverment's lumping the Church (sic) and bad guys together. Why don't you denounce it?  Please tell.  I do indeed hold the view (convict me of it) that the Gospel and those who serve it should transform and correct the culture -- including NOW the culture that equates al Qaeda and the Church.  

Call me whatever you want for my believing and praying that the Gospel will correct and transform all. Call me even "extreme" (as you did this very night).  The Gospel enters the world through GOSPEL human action (thanks to the action of the sacraments).  I love the extremes of the Gospel.

Good luck with a "res publica" (a fine concept) that doesn't receive and absorb the Gospel.
