Entry: Pope Benedict XVI and Islam: Allah the Irrational Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pope_benedict_xvi_and_islam_allah_the_irrational#1882 Post contents: First, when someone uses the expression "Blessed" for Cardinal Stepinac it becomes a matter of blasphemy any criticism of him which leads into a non-discussion. Still, truth is truth, and if he couldn't do much to stop the masacre of Serbs, he could have most certainly stopped their obscene forceful conversions, Wikipedia or no Wikipedia. ( we shouldn't forget that the Inquisition used to be called "Santo Oficio") Mr Zmirak's comparing Russian Orthodox Church under Stalin with the Catholic Church under Pavelic is, frankly an abomination. Russian Church was totally destroyed by the Bolsheviks, remnants being completely infiltrated by the communist agents to serve as a front. Just how many Catholic priests did Pavelich execute, or Hitler for that matter? Another Zmirak's absurdity is his implication of the Tsar in pogroms of the Jews. On the contrary, Nicola's Government was thoroughly dependent on the money of Jewish western bankers, and the pogroms were highly embarassing for them. They went out of control because, lets be honest, Russian people disliked the Jews, just like Poles. If Mr.Zmirak is really interested this subject, I would advise him reading Solzhenitsyn's "Deux Siecles Ensemble" a monumental, well documented, two volume history of Judeo-Russian relation. For some reason (not too mysterious, though),it still hasn't been translated into English ( pending an approval from AIPAC?). Canonizing Nicolas II has to do, I think, with the tragic execution of him and his family. Not at all of glorifying his "presiding over the Black Hundreds" as Mr Zmiriac, fraternally, suggests. (It is of some interest that Solzhenitsyn was against it). Final thought. I suspect that all of you here, are either Seminarists or Catholic Priests. No offense intended. Sent at: 2008 11 23
