My usual rule is don't discuss religion and politics but I'll make an exception - seems to me there was some anti-Semetic baiting here; however, let's not lose sight of the fact of the post that triggered it all. With no sources quoted, we have an accusation of a plot to dominate a part of the world by a religious minority - in this case the Catholics. Where have I heard this before? Do the words "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" ring a bell? And when people (properly) decry this as a hoax and a forgery, I'd advise them to go back and revisit their own Catholic conspiracy theories whcih are based on ... what were the sources again?
