Ok. Everyone can stop bashing the Pope and blaming Christians for the Holocaust now. A least for a while. We understand the urge cannot be controled for long.

Funny you should bring that up. Here is an excerpt from an ICEJ press statement regarding the Pope's 2000 trip to Jerusalem:

"Nonetheless, for many Jews there remain sincere, unresolved grievances against the Catholic Church which should not be ignored or evaded any longer, the most painful of which is the silence of the papacy during the "tragedy" of the Holocaust. We urge the Pope to expressly apologize for the Church's institutional role in contributing to the widespread anti-Semitic beliefs and attitudes that eventually produced the Holocaust in Europe, and for Pope Pius XII's failure to denounce the Nazi genocide."

In fact, hasn't the Pope apologized? Didn't he do so in a very public manner a few years ago? I applaud that.

"silence of the papacy during the "tragedy" of the Holocaust ... Pope Pius XII's failure to denounce the Nazi genocide."

In other words, what you're saying is that ICEJ lies through their teeth.

Must I always be forced to bring up Bela Kun, Trotsky, Lazar Kaganovitch and the first European Holocaust?
