Anti-Christianity Quotes
During the Spanish Civil War, the Roman Catholic Church—the only major Christian Church in Spain—sided with the Fascists in overthrowing the elected government and ousting the king. The church also supported the German Nazi bombing of undefended Spanish towns where there were concentrations of Republicans supporting the elected government. While there were a few Catholic worker priests on the Republican side, the church buildings and the hierarchy of the Church was part of the Fascist axis. Therefore churches were burned whenever possible, often with the help and participation of the Catholic worker priests many of whose churches had been bombed. Although Durruti often said this, he did not originate it; Peter Kropotkin did.
This quotation illustrates the extreme paranoia and irrationality of many of the ultra-conservative, right wing extremists of the day. It also has three of the classic ultra right wing conspiracy scenarios that are still claimed by the most extreme rightists: American leaders are giving U. S. Sovereignty to the United Nations; Many American leaders are anti-Christian and appoint more; civil rights is a communist idea and civil right demonstrations (riots) are inspired and/or controlled by communists.
