You can't have catholic AND female priests just so you know. But your point is still a good one.
Neither you can. My bad. Here she is. Wiki found her:
Christofascism (the name being a portmanteau of Christianity and Fascism) is a concept in Christian theology first mentioned by Dorothee Sölle, a socially-engaged theologian and writer, in her book Beyond Mere Obedience: Reflections on a Christian Ethic for the Future in 1970. [1] [2] [3] To Dorothee Sölle, Christofascism was caused by the embracing of authoritarian theology by the Christian church. It is an arrogant, totalitarian, imperialistic attitude, characteristic of the church in Germany under Nazism, that she believed to be alive and well in the theological scene of the late 20th and turn of the 21st century.[4][5]
Oppression knows no religious creed.
Are you being metaphysical here ITD or historical? Either way. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have sacred texts that sanctify violence. They make me really hope there is indeed no such thing as God, because if those are the texts He espouses, i have a bad feeling He is a pathological/schizophrenic deity. I'm fine with a gnostic apporach. However, sadly literalists use the sacred texts to wreak havoc and justify bloodbaths.
