Revision of history has been going on for more than 20 years with the Republican party.  For instance most of the elementary school and secondary school text books are printed in Republican Texas with Republicans on the School board.  It is interesting how in Texas that the history about something as important as the AFL-CIO and George Meaney were removed from the texts.  Because so many texts are printed there, this removal of such significant part of how the middle class in the US emerged was promoted nearly nation wide.  Seems to go along with trickle down economics.  Our RC bishops are structured like a feudal organization in which there are titles like eminence and your grace etc.  The thinking of the litmus tested pope JP2 and Benedict Bishops was authoritarian and feudal.  No wonder our Bishops can not help people find a better way because they do not want to change themselves.  Our Bishops supported slavery when it benefited them.  They continue to support what benefits them.
