> ========================================================
>
> Pope John Paul II is scheduled to visit the city of Banja Luka in Bosnia,
in former Yugoslavia, on June 22, 2003. This visit carries an ominous
significance for the victims of the Nazi-satellite "Independent State of
Croatia" which existed during World War II. [1]
>
> During his visit, the Pope is scheduled to hold a mass on Sunday, 22 June,
at the Petricevac monastery and to beatify Ivan Merz, founder of an
organization called the Croatian Eagles.
>
> Petricevac is a Franciscan Monastery. On February 6, 1942, Croatian
Ustashe forces led by the Catholic Priest Tomislav Filipovic from that
monastery massacred 2730 Serbs including 500 children in the most brutal
manner. The height of the horror happened at one school where 60 children
were slaughtered.
>
> Describing that day in his book, 'Zasto Jasenovac?' ('Why Jasenovac?')
Prof. Marko Ruchnov writes: [2]
>
> [Excerpt from 'Why Jasenovac?' starts here]
>
> The following is the transcript of a Croatian witness' account, as given
at the sentencing of Fr. Filipovic who was tried for his crimes after World
War II:
>
> "The slaughter began in this way. Before slaughtering the child of one
Djura Glamochanin, namely his little daughter Vasilia, Father Animal [Fr.
Filipovic] said these words, which are fitting only for Satan himself:
'Ustashas! I am doing this in the name of God! I am Christening these scum.
And you are to follow my lead. I will accept the entire sin on my soul. And
when we are done I will absolve you and relieve you of all guilt.'"
>
> Mara Shunjich, a school teacher of Croatian origin, said during the trial
of Fr. Filipovic that Fr. Filipovic, with a few Ustashas, went to her school
and ordered her to separate children according to nationality. Then, he took
out a knife and uttered the following words: "Look, children!" And with
those words he started to slaughter the children. Some he only cut but did
not finish completely. So these half-slaughtered children, covered in blood,
ran in circles screaming horribly. These children were hunted by the other
Ustashas who would finish the children with the butts of their pistols.
>
> [Excerpt from 'Why Jasenovac?' ends here]
>
> Priest Filipovic later became a Commander at the Concentration camp
complex known as Jasenovac. This was the first Nazi death camp in Europe. It
was the trailblazer. At Jasenovac, Filipovic got the nickname "Fr. Satan".
According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Croatian Nazi Ustashas killed
600,000 victims in Jasenovac. These were overwhelmingly Orthodox Christian
Serbs. The figure also includes tens of thousands of Jews and Roma.
>
> At Filipovic's Petricevac monastery, Pope John Paul II intends to beatify
Ivan Merz who founded the Croatian Eagles in 1922. This became the breeding
ground for Ustashe Youth, the Croatian version of Hitler Youth.
>
> As far as we know, the Pope does not plan to beg forgiveness for the
atrocities instigated and led by Catholic clergy 61 years ago.
>
> In this regard, it is worth noting how Filipovic ended up as a Jasenovac
camp commander. The German Nazis, afraid that the extremity of Fr.
Filipovic's actions would cause a Serbian rebellion, put him on trial for
his crimes. However, the head of the Jasenovac death camp complex, Maks
Luburic, intervened. He gave Filipovic a new name, Filipovic-Majstorovic,
and a post at Jasenovac. So where even the German Nazis wanted (for
opportunist reasons) to curb this monster, the Pope now makes his infamous
monastery a place of beatification.
>
> This beatification adds insult to the injury committed in 1998 when the
Pope beatified Alojzije Stepinac, the Archbishop of Zagreb during the Second
World War. In Croatia, the Catholic Church did not merely turn a blind eye
to genocide. It was an active and enthusiastic participant. Priests and
monks took part in atrocities and forced conversions all across Croatia. The
Vatican also helped scores of Ustashas escape to North and South America and
Spain along the infamous 'Ratlines'.
>
> Along similar lines, consider the following. During the Second World War,
after being tortured in unbelievable ways, Serbs were often thrown half-dead
into mountain crevasses, where they died slowly. After the Second World War
these crevasses were cemented over, as if thereby the past could be
forgotten. In the mid-1960s, the Catholic Church made an area less than ten
miles away, called Medjugorje, one of its holiest shrines. So both with
Medjugorje and with Filipovic's monastery, we see the leaders of the
Catholic church, instead of begging forgiveness for horrible crimes,
conducted by priests in the name of the Church, creating places of holy
significance.
>
> The Pope has been saying for years that Rome's reconciliation with the
Orthodox Church is a major objective. But his planned activities in the
Balkans can only deepen the schism that has divided Eastern and Western
Christians for almost a thousand years.
>
> The survivors and descendents of these terrible crimes are offended by the
Pope's actions. They believe that the public should be made aware of the
significance of this event and are asking the Catholic faithful to pressure
their church into making a true reconciliation with the Serbian people.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
