Alex Linder: Occurred to me that yet another reason Catholics hate Nazis more than their real enemy, the jew, is that the Nazis made a mockery of their just-war theory by running a more moral war than any in Catholic history. By this I mean, the Nazis committed less rape, murder and mayhem than any army ever heard of, as far as I aware.
My comment:
Jean-Marie Le Pen’s Front National has had two wings: one wing composed of fundamentalist Catholics and another composed of so-called Pagans . The Pagan faction has always been far more anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish in outlook. I believe that it’s mostly due to the fact that so-called Pagans completely reject all worldviews or ideologies derived from, or based on, Judaism; and Catholicism has its spiritual roots in an ethnocentric Jewish belief system. That’s a fact. It’s impossible to be fully, and without complexes, anti-Semitic while practicing Catholicism or being a confessing Christian. However, it should be noted that medieval, pre-Vatican II Catholicism regarded the Jews as essentially, metaphysically evil and Satanic, i.e. accurately. Those days are long gone, obviously. Now, the Church vigorously condemns all forms of racism and anti-Semitism.

Pope Tells Jews He Will Fight Anti-Semitism
By IAN FISHER
By The New York TimesROME, June 9 - In his first major interfaith meeting, Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday assured a delegation of Jewish leaders of the Roman Catholic Church’s commitment to fighting anti-Semitism and to closer ties among Jews and Catholics.
“My predecessors, Pope Paul VI and, in a particular way, Pope John Paul II, took significant steps toward improving relations with the Jewish people,” he said in a meeting at the Vatican. “It is my intention to continue on this path.”
Several rabbis who attended the meeting said afterward that it would probably ease worries among some Jews about there being a German pope, and whether Benedict was as committed as John Paul II to continuing close ties.
“He said in effect we are almost in a special relationship,” said Rabbi Israel Singer, chairman of the World Jewish Congress. “It was something he wanted to underscore early.”
However, I will say this…all those Christians who want to remain Christian should consider Orthodoxy. Historically speaking, Orthodoxy has been the most anti-Jewish Christian Church around. Orthodoxy knows the Jew.
Like the bumper sticker says: “If you must drink and drive, drink Pepsi.”
Catholicism is a form of male homosexual S&M. It’s time to outlaw the filthy church once and for all.
I agree.
