Message: Entry: Pope Benedict XVI and Islam: Allah the Irrational Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pope_benedict_xvi_and_islam_allah_the_irrational#1883 Post contents: No seminarian nor Catholic priest I, Mr. RV, just an aging pensioner, father of five, contributor to a SERBIAN charitable organization, who never thought up to 48 or so hours ago that he would ever be writing in defense of Blessed Stepinac. (The title stems from his beatification by Pope John-Paul II.) You concede, sir, that he couldn't stop the massacre of Serbs. Well according to Mr. Burleigh's book, which Mr. Zmirak cited and which I researched today myself, Stepinac encouraged the baptism of Serbs and Jews in the Catholic Church with no questions asked in order to save their lives. He noted that when normal times returned, they would return to their own faiths. He was not encouraging forced conversions but feigned conversions. As far as how many priests Hitler killed - certainly in the hundreds, perhaps in the thousands, especially in Poland. Sent at: 2008 11 23
