The Catholic church cannot be blamed for crimes committed by catholic-born Nazis (which despised Christianism and tried to establish a pseudo-religious faith) . Among Catholics there were supporters as well as opponents of the regime, many of which ended up in concentration camps. I`m not catholic but in my opinion demanding the catholic church to apologize for Nazi crimes would be the the same as blaming all muslims for 9/11, just because the terrorists were muslims.
Furthermore antijudaism and antisemitism are both condemnable but they are still two kettles of fish. Equating them is playing down anti semitism. |
