whoa! camille, you are way off base here.

i don't recall anyone so much as hinting at an implication of a whisper of a
thought of that at all.

and to me it doesn't. peddling in this usage generally means something like
"trying to sell a product" or in this case an ideology. your definition is
more akin to "trying to brainwash with ideology". i wonder what Matt really
meant.

i should certainly hope so. catholicism is way more deserving of the uproar
than marxism.
