As the old saying goes, 'Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.'
Upon opening the latest Columbia mag, I found his interesting letter to the editor....
A letter to the editors in the Fall 2014 Columbia University magazine:
"Luanne Zurlo’s letter to the editor (Summer 2014) could not have been better timed, as yesterday I finished reading "Absolute Monarchs," a very well-written history of the entire papacy by the well-respected historian John Julius Norwich.
Lord Norwich writes with specificity on the way Pope Pius XII remained silent time after time when a vigorous word would have made a significant difference in the plight of the Jews under Hitler.
He quotes the pope as referring to Judaism as a cult, and gives repeated evidence of the pope’s anti-Semitism. He also notes that the pope considered communism to be a greater threat to the papacy and himself personally than Nazi Germany was to the world, so he declined to raise a finger against the deportation of Roman Jews, lest in doing so it somehow might encourage a communist takeover of Rome.
Norwich notes that for the entire period after the war, “not one word of apology or regret, not a single requiem or Mass of Remembrance was held for the 1,989 Jewish deportees from Rome who had met their deaths at Auschwitz alone.”
Later, in describing the twilight of the pope’s life, he notes, “The old anti-Semitism was still in evidence: to his dying day he was to refuse recognition to the State of Israel.”

Wow.
Looks like "Absolute Monarchs" should go on a future reading list.
Correct.Tuckwolf -
Sixty years of recorded history back my case. So no, I'm not wrong.
P. Chic understands perfectly well that fascism is right wing. It's just her usual theatrical manner of accepting defeat. She does it on every thread.

It is a fundamental and accepted fact of history and political science that fascism manifests on the right side of the political spectrum; it is reactionary and authoritarian, consistent with rightist dogma.
P. Chic -
I am not answering your question because I don't believe you are capable of understanding the answer.
Read the dictionary definition of the word 'fascism' posted earlier. Try and understand it. Think about it. THEN feel free to ask a question and I will answer it.
Yes. Organized religion is phoney goodness. I'm sure that everyone has more examples from their own experience than they can count
P. Chic -
We already know that you are not correct. That isn't in question.
Here is ANIOTHER dictionary to prove it again. The only question is whether you are willing to learn, and I strongly doubt you are.
Definition of fascism in English:
noun
[mass noun]authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
fascism definition of fascism in Oxford dictionary British World English
Go away and learn, and then come back and ask questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
P. Chic -
As I said earlier, I strongly doubt you are bright enough to get this. I think you just proved that you aren't.
And some more fuel to this fire.....
2. "Alois Hudal(also known as Luigi Hudal; 31 May 1885 – 13 May 1963) was an Austrian titular bishop, based in Rome. For thirty years, he was the head of the Austrian-German congregation of Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rome and, until 1937, an influential representative of the Austrian Church.
In his 1937 book, "The Foundations of National Socialism," Hudal praised Adolf Hitler and his policies and indirectly attacked Vatican policies.

"Yes. Organized religion is phoney (sic) goodness."
To whom was "yes" directed?
I never said what you suggest.
Try to be more articulate...and try using spell-check.

Well, in 1938 Hitler was "Man of the year" in TIME Magazine.
Get lost.
