I advise to read the stage play by Rolf Hochhut "The Representative". It deals about Pope Pius sanctifying Hitler's weapons. It seems as if vatican has never drwan lessons from this.I feel ashamed when a German pope shakes hands with such a blood thirsty figure! The church has loaded much guilt on its back when colonialising Africa. Only a Belgian court recently condemmed some nuns involved in Ruanda genozide. S.
