The Pope’s Denial Problem »
Posted By Neophile 1 year ago in Religion
What makes the present case so alarming is that concessions are being made to Holocaust-deniers and anti-Semites, and that this is not a departure from "original intent" Catholicism but rather part of a return to traditional and old-established preachments.

Many of my German cousins and extended family members were slaughtered during WWII because they were Catholic. As a matter of fact, only three family members survived.

This Peter Hitchins' is an atheist; and he's quoting from the bible to make a point against. His credibility to speak on any subject in reference to catholicism is nill, and should be summarily ignored.
But hey; liberal, socialist crap like Newsweek gives this creature a voice. Incredible.-

okay, Buck. So only antelope (and not people who study antelope) should be allowed to speak about antelopes' migration habits? The old "it takes one to know one" assertion?

That's almost like saying only Nazis should be allowed to speak about the atrocities committed by Germany in WWII. Any non-nazi talking about it has no credibility and should be ignored, right? So if the Nazis want to ignore it, who are we to argue? -

This Man does not understand what being a Christian is all about. He also does not understand specifically the Catholic Church. He looks for the worst in everything. The Catholic Church is slow and ponderous in taking action. It is willing to wait decades and sometimes hundreds of years to change things. Part of the reason is that it is so massive. It also wants to make sure that any changes are for the better.

In bringing up "The Passion of the Christ" he ignores that the last pope gave his blessing to the film not this one. That pope was a friend to the Jews.-

Frankly this article seems to be more about political correctness in the US than anything else.

How many of you know that jews carried out a massive genocide against christians in Palestine in 614 AD (as a pecentage of the world's population, about 3 million in present day terms) and that the christians had to be protected by the arab rulers? How many of you know that the state of Israel recently converted the cemetary associated with that genocide to a hotel/parking lot (over protests)?

Stalin's Jews
We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish
...And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. ...
...Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women....
...In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin.... Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history. ...
...My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things. ...

Frankly the Pope should speak out about present day crimes against humanity (Palestine, Afghanistan, Somalia, Congo, ...) and we should join him in doing so. This is more important than political correctness about historical events.

The Old Testament and the Genocide in Gaza
http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/01/17/the-old-...
There is not much doubt amongst Biblical scholars that the Hebrew Bible contains some highly charged non-ethical suggestions, some of which are no less than a call for a genocide. Biblical scholar Raymund Schwager has found in the Old Testament 600 passages of explicit violence, 1000 descriptive verses of God’s own violent actions of punishment, 100 passages where God expressly commands others to kill people. Apparently, violence is the most often mentioned activity in the Hebrew Bible.
As devastating as it may be, the Hebrew Bible saturation with violence and extermination of others may throw some light over the horrifying genocide conducted momentarily in Gaza by the Jewish state. In broad daylight, the IDF is using the most lethal methods against civilians as if their main objective is to ‘destroy’ the Gazans while showing ‘no mercy’ whatsoever.
...Interestingly enough, Israel regards itself as a secular state. Ehud Barak is not exactly a qualified Rabbi and Tzipi Livni is not a Rabbi’s wife. Accordingly, we are entitled to assume that it isn’t actually Judaism per se that directly transforms Israeli politicians and military leaders into war criminals. Moreover, early Zionists believed that within a national home Jews would become ‘people like all other people’, i.e., civilised and ethical. In that very respect, Israeli reality is pretty peculiar. The Hebraic secular Jews may have managed to drop their God, most of them do not follow Judaic law, they are largely secular, and yet they collectively interpret their Jewish identity as a genocidal mission. They have successfully managed to transform the Bible from being a spiritual text into a bloodsoaked land registry. They are there, in Zion i.e., Palestine, to invade the land and to lock up, starve and destroy its indigenous habitants. ..
...As far as genocide is concerned the difference between Judaism and Zionism can be illustrated as follows: while the Judaic Biblical context is soaked with genocidal references, usually in the name of God, within the Zionist context, Jews are killing Palestinians in the name of themselves i.e., the ‘Jewish people’. ... Seemingly, in the Jewish state, the Hebraic subject reverts to mass killing as soon as he finds a ‘name’ to associate with. -
