Last night on PBS, there was a program about finding and persuing Nazi's after WWII.
Nazi's from Croatia were given refuge in Catholic seminaries and a priest then credited them
with Baptism and a new name. With the help of a "porous" Red Cross issuing passports, Adolph Eichman
and other Nazi's were able to escape to Argentina.
This is one of the most bigoted posts ever, IMO. The actual relationship between Pope Pius and HItler is complicated. Yes, there was colloboration but there was also resistance. German Protestants were no angels. Is this a troll post?
It certainly is not apost from a sane person with a grasp of reality, Rutherford right about something ? Come on!
So what a person or small group of people do (in this case the Pope and some priests), reflects on ALL those that profess the same ideology?
Very dangerous slope you are on...
The thread title is silly but you can't argue that the Catholic church wasn't tainted by Naziism.
Not a single Nazi was ever excommunicated with the exception of Joseph Goebbels who was punished for marrying a Protestant.
Ever read "Hitler's Pope"?

It was incredibly tainted, hey did a horrific job before, during and after the Nazi regime.
The vatican was horrific during that period and there is no excuse.
That the Nazis killed scores of catholics only makes the matter worse.
But Catholicisim is NOT the Vatican, nor the pope.
Catholicisim is NOT the Vatican, nor the pope.
You cannot divorce the catholic in the pew from the atrocities of the organisation they support. Roman Catholicism is a despicable religion that makes the borg look tame by comparison
Let's be clear on what Rutherford claimed. Rutherford didn't say the Catholic Church was tainted with Naziism. He claimed that the Catholic Hierarchy created Naziism and that Hilter and Mussolini were the puppets of the Papacy.
Saying Catholism is not the pope or the vatican is like saying JW's are not the Watchtower society...where do you seperate the two...would one exist without the other.
I was not aware that Rutherford claimed that the Catholic Hierarchy created Naziism...thats a big claim..what did he support that statement with?
