Yes it was.  Back in it's power Hitler basically said "shut up about everythign we do or we will flatten the vatican."  I mean, it might be worth noting that the Vatican was right in the freaking middle of axis territory for nearly the majority of the war.... and the people in there could of been taken out and shot on any given day.  The fact they remained as nuetral as they did was a wonder.

Heck protests and the like probably would of just got german catholics on the chopping block before their time.

An no... the holocaust is not something the RCC would do.  That's just.... unbelievably ignorant.

Your letting your extreme bias against religion show... and it makes you look sad.

Considering the antisemintism the RCC had been promoting throughout the centuries, it's quite naive of you to say that the RCC wouldn've done something similar to the Holocaust, had it had the political and military power to do so. However it didn't need to, as the Nazis were already doing it. The fact that the Vatican aided Nazis to escape shows where their sympathies lied.

 

And FTR, Fascism had religious ties in manz places in the world (Croatia, Romania, Latin America etc.).


Anti-semtism is one thing... mass killing of a race is a totally different matter.

There are plenty of anti-semites and anti-semtic groups that wouldn't kill a jew even if they knew they could get away with it.

The vatican aided Nazi escape because Allied governments told them to... so does that show where the Allies sympathy lied?

You have such a strange pure black and white view of things... which is amusing... considering.  Your one of those people that tend to hate religion or a religion so much... that you end up acting exactly how you accuse them of acting... and why you hate them.  I'm would't be surprised if you were a Zeitgeist beleiver with attitudes like that.

Heck, you believe that the Roman Catholic Church... freed nazis... because they were sympathetic to them.... based on a book you haven't read, that suggests that might be one of a number of reasons they did it... though they have no proof as to why they did.  Off of one article... oh and then you extended it to "They would of had their own concentration camps!"  (Ignoring the fact that all of europe was pretty anti-semitc, and everyone else was aghast about them.)

Think about things uncritically much?
