A day or two off never hurts. I figured I’d take Sunday off to see what all of this Sabbath hub-bub is about. I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until Tuesday. Until I get my coffee, I’ll post this cranky history lesson instead of the usual jokes – tomorrow I promise more jokes:

Fuck Catholics and Fuck Nazis. Wait, that is redundant.
Most of us can remember Bosnia’s recent problems. It wasn’t just that Orthodox Serbs, Catholic Croats, and Slavic Muslims were mixing ethnic hatred and religious intolerance to kill the shit out of each other. It’s that Yugoslavia, as a whole (including Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia), has been doing this forever.
WWII Croatian/Catholic Atrocities
Back in WWII, with the blessings of the Catholic Church, Ante Pavelic exterminated ethnic Serbs and Jews in Croatia. In ’41 after becoming the fascist dictator, he met with the pope. He then began his violent work – those he did not kill, was because he forced them at gunpoint to renounce Serbian Orthodoxy and become Catholics. He met pope Pius XII again in ’43, who did jack shit (pretty much the pope’s official stand on Germany’s genocides as well), even though the pope was well-informed on German and Croatian genocide. After the war, Pavelic even stayed in Rome, as a “guest” of the Vatican for a few months (hiding from war tribunals)! He finally died in Spain in 1959, at which time Pope John XXIII gave him a nice little blessing.
Priests get in on the bloodfilled fun in Croatia:
Ivan Saric was a Catholic Bishop who said Pavelic’s killing of Orthodox Serbs and Jews was a god-approved “renewal of human dignity” and took property stripped from Serbs and Jews. Franciscan and Catholic priest Miroslav Filipovic (known as “the devil of Jasenovac”) personally massacred Serbs and Jews as head of the largest Croatian concentration camp. After the war he was hung by a tribunal - he wore his friar’s robes while being executed. Many other Catholic priests were integral parts of this Croatian death machine (directly working in the camps, or helping the government) – one priest even said Catholics should put down their prayer books and pick up guns. Another wrote that killing a 7-year-old child in this conflict was not a sin… probably thought the 7-year-old boy in question was too sexy and therefore a temptation.
Practice Makes Perfect
In the vein of these WWII Catholic war criminals, Rwandan Catholic priests (the majority religion in Rwanda) helped in the recent Rwandan genocides. Another one was finally caught last month - again in Italy still serving as a Catholic priest.

God loves you, here are some machete wounds to prove it, my son.
Catholic Involvement in Rwanda massacres:

The few priests captured represent a small portion of the priests directly involved (and by directly, I mean they did some of the bloodiest work with their own hands)… I bet they’ll find more in Rome or the Vatican hiding with the pope’s consent.
Other Priests Involvement in Rwandan Genocide

Athanase Seromba was a Catholic priest who had his own church bulldozed while 2,000 tribal Tutsi’s hid within it. The ones that survived were shot or macheted. After his part in Rwandan genocide, he served as a priest in Florence, Italy. He is now serving a life sentence – no thanks to the Vatican who helped hide him. There are probably more war criminals in Italian churches serving as priests than anywhere else in the world. Vatican: Thanks for hiding assholes! They hid child molesters for decades as well.
The Vatican and Holocaust Gold
You’d figure after WWII the Vatican would have denounced genocide in Germany, Croatia, and other places. Instead they funnelled gold from Swiss banks to South America, to help Nazi leaders hide out. Catholic involvement with Nazis continued well after the war (maybe even into the ’70s). Much of this gold was placed in Swiss banks after having been taken from Jews in Germany and elsewhere. Contemporary historians call this flow of money, immigration help, and passports to Nazi’s hiding in South America “The Vatican Ratline.” The Church just keeps siding with the worst and has done so ever since it started.

The church creates orphans so they will have little boys to rape.
Happy Holidays
This holiday season people will be kissing the ass of many churches and denominations for feeding the homeless. I’d bet for every orphan they feed, the Church had created an orphan or two somewhere else… maybe Rwanda, maybe Croatia, maybe Germany. For the orphans they are feeding, you can bet they’re molesting and raping the boys and terrifying the girls with anti-woman, anti-sex doctrines.
