Entry: Pope Benedict XVI and Islam: Allah the Irrational Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pope_benedict_xvi_and_islam_allah_the_irrational#1860 Post contents: Dear Peter RV, Yes, you have given some facts, but none of it implicates the Catholic Church, which you called hypocrital. There is no doubt that the Ante Pavelic regime was bloodthirsty, especially, toward the Serbs. And yes, there were some renegade Catholics involved. However, I reiterate, there is no individual, or group of individuals, that is the Catholic Church. If I should create a scandal, it doesn't follow that it comes with the approbation of the Catholic Church. Therefore, you have failed to prove that the Catholic Church approved or abetted the forced conversions of Orthodox Serbs. I will add this: "According to a report of the British Naval Intelligence Division from 1944, the Croatian 'Roman Catholic clergy, following the example of monsignor Stepinac, the Zagreb Archbishop, energetically protested against ustasha persecutions of Serbs and Jews, as well as against government's attempts for forced coversion to Roman Catholicism...'" It sounds like you have an axe to grind and that it is definitely anti-Catholicism, having nothing to do with historical fact. I am wondering if you are either an orthodox extremist or a communist agent. Sent at: 2008 11 21
