Dominionism may not be Catholic. However if one looks at the history of the Catholic Church it is very dominionistic in many ways. Just to share with you I went to an alumni gathering here in Denver sponsored by my "Catholic" college alumni association a couple of years ago. Our new president was there. I also compared notes with some other alumni whom I had never met. I asked about the stance of the Catholic Church today. What I learned is that the Church has accepted the more aggressive proselytizing strategy that the Mormons and fundamentalists use. They have accepted the dominionist tendencies we now see.

As a former Catholic I can see it like I have never seen it before.

There was an interesting theme on the Dr Who series this year where the Dr and his companions encountered aliens call "Sleepers" they were threatening and taking over. They had a unique feature to them in that as long as you were looking at them and seeing them you knew they were there. Once you turned your back or they were out of sight you forgot they existed.

Conspiracies work best when they are deniable and they are invisible. There may not be conspiracy where "theocracy" movements are connects. I do see a lot of subterranean trends that really make me wonder.

BTW I am new to this page. I am not sure how to link back to an old thread. Things go so fast here.
