nancy i am not after a propaganda article i am after an accurate article and i think that there is no serious argument that irenaeus faked the list of popes in his writings as of ad therefore i don't think the unsupported comment by duffy has a place in what is already a quite lengthy section with regard to the mexican points these will have to be checked the idea that before the church didn't agree that indians hads souls yet converted them before this doesn't stand up just because something has been printed somewhere doesn't mean that it is true if the book is pov or the writer has only a slender grasp of relevant issues material can be wrong similarly with the corporal punishment points this is very vague and gives no law date or time that can be pinpointed the idea that xavier only preached among thomas christians is simply wrong
