73. Utter nonsense!!

Actually, this is total bullshit.

"Benedict was absolutely right about atheism. At best, it affords no protection against tyranny, and while the Catholic Church's record has not been spotless by any means at the political level against right-wing tyrannies, only the Christian Church will prevent the ever-growing tyranny of secular governments."

Actually the Catholic Church, as an institution, has been both an instrument and the purveyor of tyranny for centuries.
The same can not be said for 'atheism'.
