		<description><![CDATA[If the Pope can un-excommunicate the Bishop that does not believe the Holocaust happened, then why is he going to such extremes with the mother and MD in Brazil for trying to save the life of a 9yo rape victim?  Also, I did not hear anything about excommunicating the man that raped this little girl.  Whats wrong with this picture?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What next from Pope Benedict XVI, the excommunication of Patrick Desbois, a French Catholic priest who recently authored &quot;The Holocaust by Bullets,&quot; a book which documents the execution of 2 million Jews, by gunfire, by the Nazis?  Desbois has interviewed more than 800 eyewitnesses and pinpointed hundreds of mass graves all over the former Soviet Union where the victims were shot and buried.  There is an exhibition now through March 15 at New York&#039;s Museum of Jewish Heritage about this less often talked about Nazi method of extermination. 

To un-excommunicate those involved with SSPX makes me think Pope Benedict XVI is not in league with God.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ Daniel Rosenthal

at least, you can&#039;t blame pope Ratzinger for being a member of the Hitler Youth because laws in 1936 and 1939 made this compulsory ... his and his family&#039;s political background is from the pre-1933 Bavarian People&#039;s Party which was deeply rightwing and catholic and voted in March 1933 for Hitler&#039;s &quot;Ermächtigungsgesetz&quot; which gave the Nazi government the power to rule without parliament]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow the nazi&#039;s treatment of the jews is the major item of their cruelty, and somehow debatable. Their victims also included, bolshevicks, socialists, liberals, Jehova Witnesses, various types of no organization, declared geneticly unfit, and democrats. Those were just the internal enemies. Exterior enemies, included Poles Slavs Russians and Italians, as well as the more well known enemies.
The last victim of the Nazi Death Machine was performed by Sister Worle in Kaufbeuran Bavaria, in an asylum for children, by lethal injection. Richard Jenne, a four year old boy was the last of over 200 patients to die at Sister Worle&#039;s hand. She was the head nurse at this asylum. Richard was classified as a feeble minded idiot and then deliberatly starved to the point of death so that the lethal injection would easily kill him. The death certificate said typhus. His death occurred three weeks after V.E. Day. When U.S. medical authorities finally came to this asylum they found 1500 desease ridden patients confined to appalling squalid conditions.
Mrs. Worles coment to the authorities,&quot;Will anything happen to me?&quot; 
Anyone with the stomach for it can read of it were I did, &quot;End Game 1945&quot;, by David Stafford.
I&#039;m not here just to be down on the Nazi&#039;s. Our own eugenics enthusiasts were used as an example and defense by the Nazis when they started on their various race cleaning programs. For that try,&quot;In Reckless hands&quot;, by Victoria F. Nouse.
The idea that this behavior only occurred elsewhere under certain hot labels is false. Authority with false knowledge can commit atrocity&#039;s quite easily. Wether or not they took on a fancy label are close by or accross the world is extraneous. It can and has happenned here. Lets try not to let it happen again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The present pope was a member of the Hitler Youth, but now he is trying to play it down....but his actions belie his words.  Incidentally, the actual number of people killed by the Nazis (excluding those killed in battle) is closer to 14 million rather than 6 million.  In addition to the 6 million Jews murdered, Hitler also had it in for Roma (commonly known as Gypsies), Poles, Serbs, and Russians--the man was an all-around bigot, and a horrible example of  the havoc such a person can cause when they get into a position of power.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is wrong for anyone in any position of responsibility to deny the events and deeds committed by one of the worst regimes in global history-Nazi Germany. 

In order to combat the issues surrounding post World War I, it is important to scrutinize the curriculum of the educational systems as to reflect the nature and central theme of historical events.

There is a red flag here as Pope Benedict welcomes back into the Catholic Church. The Bishops expressing their holocaust denying points of view must never be allowed to sell their propaganda to school children or from any pulpit. A respect for the Catholic Church and historical events within the Catholic doctrine/teachings must be placed under a searchlight beginning with Pope Benedict.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not a great fan of the Catholic Church, but my hats off to the Pope for having the courage of his convections, as well as to Bishop Richard William-son for telling the simple truth concerning the Jewish Holocaust. There is no doubt there were many Jews killed during the course of the war, but the facts have been twisted by the Holocaust Industry that has been created by Jewish scam-artist and crooks.I don&#039;t believe there were 6 million Jews killed ,nor the fact that Hitler wanted to exterminate the Jewish race. If he had, there would have been many more Jews who would have died. The world would be a much better place if America would have put all the Jews in our country into concentration camps and not have allowed them to infiltrate every level of our present society. It&#039;s only because we as American&#039;s won the war, that we&#039;ve lost our racial consciousness and a better future for our white children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The present Pope seems to separate the Catholic clergy into the goats (Kung, etc) &amp; the sheep (Cardinal Law) solely on the basis of their thoughts/writings on theological opinions. 
He pays no attention to behavior, eg Bishops who cover up felony criminal acts of their subordinates, since their words sound fine to him &amp; they pledge obedience to him personally.
Contrast this with the sayings of Jesus, &quot;By their fruits ye will know them. Do you expect to get good fruit from thorns or weeds? Of course not. So not every one who says &#039;Lord, Lord&#039; will enter the Father&#039;s Kingdom, but those who DO the will of the Father.&quot; 
Perhaps this is why more &amp; more Catholics are comparing his rule to the Medici Popes, not Pope John XXIII.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s a reason that the Catholic Church didn&#039;t need to un-excommunicate any of the many top leaders of the Nazi regime who were Roman Catholics,i.e. they agreed on a great many conservative social issues. So Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Josef Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, Rudolf Hoess, Julius Streicher, Fritz Thyssen (who bankrolled the Nazi rise to power), Klaus Barbie, and Franz Von Papen were NEVER kicked out of the Roman Catholic Church, nor were 
+ Leon Degrelle who headed the Nazi state of Belgium,
+ Emil Hacha who headed the Nazi state of Bohemia-Moravia,
+ Ante Pavelic who headed the Nazi state of Croatia,
+ Konrad Henlein who headed the Nazi state of Sudetenland,
+ Pierre Laval and then Henry Petain who headed the Nazi state of Vichy-France.
+ the priest, Msgr. Josef Tiso, who headed the Nazi state of Slovakia.
(who wasn&#039;t even defrocked after the defeat of the Nazis). 
Although these were among the most visible Catholic lay people in their countries at the time, did Pope Pius XII excommunicate a single one of them? NO. How can anyone say that this pope did &quot;all that he could&quot;, when he failed to take this obvious measure so as to make it clear to the millions of Catholic faithful who were enabling the Nazis to carry out their campaigns of mass murder, not only against Jews, but against their fellow Catholics in Poland, that they should have no part in these monstrous of crimes and most mortal of sins? Apologists for Pius XII who claim that their crimes caused these people to be &quot;automatically excommunicated&quot; miss the point that excommunication isn&#039;t intended to tell GOD who is a Catholic and who isn&#039;t but to tell THE FAITHFUL whom to shun.
        On the other hand, after the Nazis were defeated and no longer posed any threat to the pope, the Vatican, or the Catholic Church anywhere, did Pope Pius XII allow the Vatican to be used to protect thousands of Catholic war criminals such as the above to escape punishment for their war crimes? YES. Whose side was the pope on?
        Here are some of the more infamous war criminals the Vatican protected from prosecution: 
Adolf Eichmann, &quot;the architect of the Holocaust&quot;, , 
Alois Brunner , referred to as his &quot;best man&quot; by Eichman, 
Dr. Josef Mengele, &quot;the Angel of Death&quot; , 
Franz Stangl, commandant of the Sobibór and of Treblinka extermination camp , 
Gustav Wagner assistant to Franz Stangl, 
Klaus Barbie, &quot;the Butcher of Lyon&quot; , 
Edward Roschmann, &quot;the Butcher of Riga&quot;, 
Aribert Heim, Mauthausen concentration camp&#039;s &quot;Dr. Death&quot;, 
Walter Rauff, believed responsible for nearly 100,000 deaths 
Andrija Artukovi?, &quot;the Himmler of the Balkans&quot; 
Ante Paveli?, head of Catholic Croatia, arguably the most murderous regime in relation to its size in Axis-occupied Europe.
