    The Catholic Church has never lived down its association with the last Nazis that rose to power, they aren’t making that mistake again.

    “Fuck those guys.” - current Pope.

      The catholic church strongly opposed the Nazis. A lot of christians were killed by the Nazis because of this. The pope is more like: like: “Fuck, not those guys again”

        I was gonna say, IIRC the Nazis kept trying to hide in ancient cathedrals, because they thought the allies wouldn’t bomb them. The Pope at the time told the allies to burn and bomb the Nazis out.
