P.J. O'Rourke observed that the people in favor of abortion are
opposed to capital punishment. And vice-versa.

His solution? Kill them all and let God sort it out.

Of course this idea is not new - Pope Leo I offered the same advice.


You need to check your historical references.
The expression is ascribed to an abbot during the Cathar heresy
rebellion in France.

So right. In addition to an abbot, Arnaud-Armaury was the Papal Legate, sort
of an ambassador plenipotentiary, with powers derive directly from the Holy
See. And the Pope involved was Innocent III, not Leo I.

The actual quote, "Neca ecos omnes, Deus suos agnoscet," (Kill them all, God
will know His own) is an extension of 2 Tim 2:19 "The Lord knoweth them that
are His own."

I don't think the Cathars were in "rebellion," so much as they wanted to be
left alone to worship Isis and encourage their six-year olds to have sex. It
was the Church who waged war on the Cathars.
