I can’t see how you can call this false history. It happened. It was based upon the conflict between Catholic and Orthodox religions. Its factual history. It may be uncomfortable to read reports such as this, but denying their validity does disservice to the truth. Any of these events happening with the least of collaboration of any religion based upon Christ is reprehensible.
The false history is the extension of what happened in Croatia to the pope, based on some failure to “speak out”.
You know, I didn’t speak out about what was going on in Croatia, of course I wasn’t alive yet.
Bet FDR didn’t speak out about this sectarian fighting. Just maybe that was because the entire world was on fire and at war, the Vatican was surrounded by Nazis. Little things like that.
Let’s write an article about our grandparents and how they didn’t speak out about Croatia in 1942, don’t forget the US government and all the politicians since. And let’s be sure to somehow criticize our grandparents in the 40’s for stuff this article is talking about that happened in the 1990’s and 2000’s.
Yeah, nice try, indeed.
“It happened.”
No, it didn’t.
“Its factual history.”
No, it isn’t.
“Any of these events happening with the least of collaboration of any religion based upon Christ is reprehensible.”
If any of them had happened, then the perpetrators would have been in the wrong. However, an entity does not share in the blame for deeds committed in its name when those acts are done without its knowledge or consent, and most especially when such deeds are contrary to the wishes of that entity.
Were it otherwise, I could commit a crime and make you responsible simply by claiming that you inspired me to do it.
