The Pope And A Nazi Officer

 

My experience with the Catholic church is what turned me away. I saw the hypocrisy on a daily basis. I realize we humans are fallible, even those we have chosen to guide us to be better. The world forgives the sinner and still believes in the holy Spirit. 

It's sort of like Republicans knowing Trump is a rapist, cheat, liar, misogynist and all around bad person, but they still believe in the message. I'll let you decide what the message is.

It never ceases to amaze me when I find another  egregious act enacted by the church, the depravity, the purposeful ignorance, such as this story about a Nazi soldier who told anyone who would listen that Hitler was gassing human beings, thousands every single day. Pope Pius XII, was aware of the marches. The officer told him so. There are reams of a paper trail which prove he knew about the murder of babies, children, innocent souls, since 1942, yet, he did nothing. The Church defends this lack of interest, claiming they just didn't have enough evidence. Sound familiar? A Nazi officer who believed in God came forward and tried to get someone to listen. A woman comes forward and claims she and others were raped by powerful men. And many people turned their backs. No one wants to deal with the ugly realities. Let someone else handle it. Not enough evidence. And probably  worse, the need to protect men who move the world, the men who have a kink. So they like children-men will be men. Dozens of women have told us what happened to them, but some just need more than just the word of one or dozens or thousands, while others like Pope Pius tried to hide documents that prove beyond what we can ever imagine what one human can do to another. Shove that horror way down. 

Why would a man of God, the mouth, eyes and ears of God choose to ignore what was happening to Jews and others deemed impure by Hitler? Probably because he thought it was a very good idea what Hitler was doing.

Honestly, it boggles my mind that after thousands of years of the Catholic Church and every other religion, that it still exists. Not only exists, but thrives. Everyone is pleased with the newest Pope because he's a decent man, who runs the biggest cult since humans began thinking of ways to fuck each other over. But, it's survival of the fittest as they say. Or, perhaps it's not the fittest who have lasted, but the cruelest. 

Again, if praying to a God makes you feel better at the end of the day, have at it, but don't ever fool yourselves into believing the Church has your back. Just for a moment think about a mother walking her terrified children to the gas chamber. People, very powerful people, knew and did nothing.

To those who know, to those who turn away, your hands are not tied. They are covered in blood. You choose to ignore the truth.
