Yes, i enjoy the list and some of the folks on it including you. I also appreciate receiving information not otherwise available. But when some of the various sources on this list feed you slander against the pope, "documented" all over the place, be more than a bit wary. For one thing, some members of this list are haters by their nature. They don't really hate the pope or Catholics generally, or Jews, or foreigners. By particularizing their rage, these haters are able to intellectualize their venom and spin fantastic webs of pseudo history to make themselves appear sane. There are some perfectly fine people on this list and there are some ravenous wolves. Take care Jerry Harp >> Here is my take on this. Some have said that the current Pope, John Paul II was indeed a worker in a plant that produced Zyklon B, the stuff the German's used to kill Jews and other undesireables ( along with other more imaginative means) before becoming a priest. This is an allegation, and I'm unsure as to documentation. Now that said, I would like to point out, that Jerry has a good point. Don't believe everything you read here, some of it is just garbage, even some of what I post will inevitably show itself to be trash (but it won't stop me from posting !!). Try to uncover as much on your own as possible to allow you to come to a decision regarding whether something you have read is true or not. The problem that Jerry has, if I may deduce from his post, is that he just refuses to believe that the Pope could possibly have done such a thing. This is the same thing he cites, but from the opposite direction. Don't automatically disbelieve something on this list without doing a little checking. I know that to some this is one of religious significance, and there are other topics of a similar nature brought up on this list from time to time. Issues such as this or those others often come down to a matter of faith, ie; the Pope is a man of God, therefore he COULDN'T possibly have done such a thing, many will dismiss the idea for that reason. I caution you if you are inclined to do so, you may be cutting off a real avenue of research. Teo1000 DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
