And yes, the Vatican is a theocracy - thank God.
The Vatican did a lot of evil things during the 20th century
When a sissy leftist Italian says the Vatican "did a lot of evil things" he means (1) the Vatican actively opposed the spread of Communism in Italy and (2) the Vatican saved thousands of the evil Jews who are now oppressing the poor, put-upon Palestinians.
I agree with you. A theocracy is guided by religion's beliefs.Christian theocracy, by the Cristian beliefs. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous, imagine Mullahs consulting Thorah for guidance.
Since Vatican is Christian theocracy, one can expect that the 10 Commandments are the building stones of it:
6th "Thou Shalt Not Murder"
8th Commandment: "Thou shalt not Steal"
10th: 10th Commandment; "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
Let's put asside other historical precedents, Let's focus to Nazi Croatia 1941-45 and the role of Vatican in her crimes.
During the existence of Nazi Croatia, Vatican did nothing to prevent the Croatian state from publicly encouraging faithful RC flock to murder, pillage and loot Serb and Jewish property. Contrary to that, Monsignor Draganovic who presided over commission and distributed the loot was not defrocked by Vatican. He even became Crtoatia's Red Cross representative in Vatican. All these functions could not be held WITHOUT TACIT Vatican approval, according to the Canonical law. It is also worth mentioning that Krunoslav Draganovic personally took role in extermination of Serbs in Nothern Bosnia (Kozara region) in June 1942, also against the Canonical law.
And we have not touched the issue of forced conversion of Christians to RC faith. While Vatican was in no position to stop genocide, the all power to stop forced conversions was in Vatican's hands. The Archbishop who presided over forced conversions was elevated to Cardinal and beatified. Do I have to say anything more?
Many converted were murdered afterwards. "We saved their souls, if we could not save their bodies" was the comment.
The crimes were not isolated. More than 400 000 Serbs were murdered and their property looted. Their property was kept by murdererers, with Vatican help.
Vatican is theocracy, I agree. But is it a Christian one?
