MavFin, what do you mean by "the Roman Catholic Church" of the time, given that it wasn't until about 381 that the Church's legitimacy in Rome (after the "it's legal to be Christian" by Constantine in 313/Edict of Milan) morphed into MainStream, when the emperor declared it more or less the official religion of the empire.
Care to elaborate?
As to DeeBye's opening post and question ... what's it matter to you? You're Canadian. You have your own parties to deal with.
The GOP is doing all that it can to get Obama re-elected, but I think it's unintentional. The fractiousness and factionalism running amok reminds me of the Democratic Party a generation or so ago.
The GOP has chosen to air their dirty laundry in public for the past four to five years, which is aided and abetted by the various mouthpieces on talk radio who attempt to spread a meme about who is a true conservative, and who isn't, day in and day out.
I don't think these folks understand how propaganda, or at least effective propaganda, works.
So, the GOP is more or less doing President Obama's work for him, in terms of setting up the issues to address during the coming campaign.
With enemies like that, who needs friends?
