This pope is much better than the last couple of Popes. .. when it comes to the rhetoric said at least.

I do think he still has a problem with women though.. and homosexuals. Give them a few more Popes to be less... verbose against them.

Re: The Ultimate Power Play
I don't know about you, but when you have family history of being killed because of their religion, 'some' just doesn't cut it. My family got out of Russia because of the pogroms against the Jews. My Great grandfather had 5 of his 6 sisters murdered because of them.

It seems to be rather uncharitable to try to minimize the effects of prejudice , and hand wave the numbers and the effects of it.

Re: Similar, but not the same
That might be the case, but think of all the Christians that bought into that.

Well, that and the fear of being killed once Hitler consolidated his power.
