QUANTITATIVE MASSACRE DATA

The other day I mentioned the Spanish Civil War and the large number of Catholic religious murdered by the "soi disant" Popular Front. A little checking revealed that about 10,000 Catholics were murdered by that crew, and that 2/3 of them were priests and other religious, such as nuns and brothers.

I do recall that Horrywood created a version of Graham Greene's novel, The Power and the Glory, which dealt with Mexico's anti-clerical rampage, but that's an old film, and I think it's time that large-scale Communist atrocities received some of the limelight they deserve. It may be that the Catholics haven't yet learned to wail so loudly and inflate the numbers of their losses.
