O yes indeed! Monumental hypocrisy! I almost choked when I read the piece below:-
...... when it is a matter of history that the Pope and the Vatican sided with Hitler against the Jews in WWII. There was never a single word of condemnation of the persecution of the Jews from the Vatican, and many bishops and cardinals were known Nazi sympathisers. Catholic priests paid homage to Hitler and contributed to the anti-Semitic feelings, and several priests also protected Nazis from criminal charges, helping them to escape, hiding them, and obtaining false papers for them.
Old Benedict must think the world has a short memory........ or he just gives himself permission to rewrite history as it suits. I find it disgusting.
