Germany's Protestant Church has admitted using slave labour during World War II, and has pledged to pay compensation to Nazi victims. The admission came after revelations that Berlin church parishes set up a forced labour camp during the war, and used workers from mainly central and eastern Europe for tasks such as grave-digging. "This was complicity in a regime based on force and removed from the rule of law. We accept this guilt," said church council president Manfred Kock. Wow - I'm going to archive that. Useful information there. DrEck and Alex, here's some more info for y'all. I'll be sure to repost it after you "forget" you saw it.

Promise? Because it shows the Protestant church in Germany rightfully accepting blame for complicity and apologizing.
Something the Vatican has yet to do outside its lame, half-hearted attempt in 1994 in something called "We Remember."
lol. Yeah, right. The Vatican "remembers;" it just doesn't "apologize."
