Most Catholics aren't this crazy. I hope.

Michael Voris and his Vortex (of Insanity) have been mentioned here before, but now he's profiled on AP News. He really is nuts: he runs a YouTube channel and makes these strange videos where he demands that America become a Catholic dictatorship, all with a straight face.

Last time I mentioned him he got pricked by all our incredulous disgust with the Catholic Taliban, so he even made a clip all about us angry atheists, taking care not to link to any of our sites.

I hope this is representative of a tiny minority in the church, but I don't know…last time I crossed Catholicism I was exposed to all the madness within it, so I'm not so confident that the fascist Voris doesn't have more support than we expect.
