RE: Re: The Left Hand of God or "is God a socialist"

You may be right about being off topic, if and only if one considers
Political Science not science and therefore off topic, or Theology as being
off topic.

Hard to say; Pope Pius XII is not on Earth, as far as I am aware. Don't
know if he can be considered to be "international" in his current
location/position, nor do I know in what context PXII made that statement or
when, or if he would make that statement today (and I don't have the
resouces currently to "google" his statement).

Still, is this an appropriate topic for this forum? Terry may have to chime
in here.
