How much better can it get?[/quote] A little bit less political oppression would have been nice as a start. I don't really like his policies about women either. Liking traditional depictions of motherhood is fine, but banning them from being university professors or judges... not so much.

Resurrexi Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I must admit, though, that I don't know too much about Franco. Did he support any policies contrary to Catholic morality? Edited August 13, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, most liberal "Catholic" politicians today support the violation of the fifth and sixth commandments, in addition to violating the principle of subsidiarity.
