for-clinton, did you read my post above? Please do note that the fairy tale about the Church standing idly by IS a fairy tale. Could the Church have done more? Yes we could have -- the Catholics in Germany were opposed to Naziism (note-- that's not a jibe against Protestants, Protestantism in Germany was weakened in the 1800s when a devout Calvinist Emperor forcibly joined the Calvinist and Lutheran churches and made this united church for all purposes a department of the Prussian government -- this had a horrific effect as Calvinists and Lutherans have serious difference in core beliefs and the government forcing just made people lose faith in God and forced a faith in the welfare state being set up -- this made them ripe for the Aryan Christianity lie created in the 30s)

The Vatican remember was from the 1870s little more than a prison after the unification of Italy. This ended with the Concordat in the 1920s which severely limited what they could do or not.

In the circumstances, I dare you to name any other 'player' besides the Polish underground that did as much. FDR and Churchill's governments KNEW about the concentration camps and the holocaust and they did nothing.
