I have a post on the 'politics' site called 'Spain's stolen Babies'.
In this it is described how, under the facist regime of Franco in Spain, children were taken from political opponents and put in children's homes for 're-education'. They were given a new name, told their parents were murderers, and taught to love the regime. After Franco there were still a lot of facism in the country, and what happened next was simply stealing babies from the birth clinics. Done by doctors, nuns and priests. The mothers were told their child was dead, and denied seeing it. The babies were then sold.

It was made very clear that there was a close co-operation between the fascist regime and the Catholic church, and I ask myself WHY? What on earth could they have in common???
I have had thoughts lately that most religions are more cultural than religious, without really having thought it through.
