Protestant Christians have fared no better in Australia with its wholesale murder of the aboriginal peoples, herding the survivors on to reservations, taking their children and subjecting them to Christian (protestant) boarding schools and forcing them to undergo genetic programs designed to "whiten" up future generations.

You heard it said "those who live in glass houses should not throw stones". Australia's Protestants committed the same crimes as Brazilian Catholics.

Obviously you have fallen prey to the fabrication of Aboriginal history.

Where is the evidence of this "wholesale murder" of Aboriginals? Windschuttle reveals that those who made such claims were merely making it up or exaggerating in the extreme. Sooner or later somebody was going to check up on the sources these fabricators cited as evidence, and down their ideologically motivated fiction would come.

As to "herding the survivors on to reservations", this was the result of liberal leftists who came up with the brilliant idea segregating Aboriginals from the mainstream in the interests of "self-determination" and what have you. In fact, up till the Sixties, assimilation had been the official policy of Australian governments as a means of having Aboriginals share in the benefits of the modern world. But liberals somehow thought this would be best achieved by segregating them and having them live a semi-primitive lifestyle.

As to educating Aboriginal children, what would have been "forced" about this? No doubt Aboriginal parents would have been attracted at the prospect of educating their children, and the Christian injunction to go forth and make disciples of all nations issued by Christ would have meant that Christians would have been more than happy to educate the Aboriginals.

Genetic programs to "whiten" up future generations? Where on earth do you get these fantastical ideas? From movies not based on fact called "Rabit-Proof Fences?

Australia's Protestants committed the same crimes as Brazilian Catholics? In what way? There has never been any slavery in Australian history. Australia has never had a state church. Protestant clergy have never advocated for Marxist social revolution in Australia. How have Australian Protestant clergy borne any similarity in their political involvement to Brazilian Catholic clergy?

Here's Keith Windschuttle's site revealing the fabrication of Aboriginal history:

Thanks for the explanation and clarifications to those of us, not as well versed in Australian history. I hope the gentleman who first made a comment on the article about the historical absurdity of the clergy in Brazil completely misunderstood it. The well written article was meant to show the conflict between the Brazilian church and democracy, not to say the rule of law in its hidden agenda. I wonder why the gentleman changed the topic of the article to beautiful Australia? Could it be the classical approach of killing the messenger when one doesn't like the message? The church in Brazil and its phony alliance with Marxism thoughts and theories are a paradox to anybody with common sense. I hope there are people in the clergy who oppose their historical position. As to the Protestants in Australia doing or not what the Gentleman claimed seems totally out of context in this forum.

I think this article demostrates clearly that a Church controlled by the State is bound for corruption. Much of the negative history of the Church in Europe was due to the same influences. Governments (monarchies, to be more specific) wanted to control the Church in order to limit criticism of policies, etc. that ran afould of the good. Martin Luther and Co. would not have been able to sustain their revolution had they not ceded control of the investiture of bishpos to the local principalities. It was far more improtant for many of the local lords to have a friendly face in the bishopric than to be a good Christian and Luther, in his hatred for the Church, obliged. The only real difference between the European experience and the Brazilian is the centuries in which they occured.

thanks for the information !! it was really appricated !!
