When have I claimed they did?

And it annoys me no end, the christers are going to work themselves into a froth over this decrossification in China without first evaluating the franchise there for ideological purity and conformance to the terms and conditions as set down by god almighty.

They might be apostates, blasphemers and/or heretics, and the Chicoms are actually doing the Lawds work there !!!!
