Bishop's view on religious freedom hypocritcal

Saturday's Post had an op-ed in the religion section by a Catholic bishop that supposedly was about religious freedom.  In it he accused all cases of mass murder as having been done by atheists, specifically referencing by alusion Hitler.  Stalin and the Chinese may be declared atheists but I don't belive Hitler was.  And any group that makes these accusations must be clean of blood themselves and the Catholics certainly aren't.  Think of the "Holy Wars" and the Inquisition.  Also the fact that while individual priests in Germany may have protested Hitler and helped Jews, the Pope did absolutely nothing against Hitler and nothing to help Jews.

He also conveniently forgets that religious freedom includes allowing other people to have freedom to worship- or not- as they please.
