I am used to dealing with these anti-Pius agitprop hacks. There is a single theme that is so predictable it is hilarious.

They walk into the thread screaming that Pius XII was silent. If no one around knows enough real history, great, success, their work is done. If someone -does- know enough history and can completely rip that ridiculous statement apart, then it always switches, without missing a step, to blaming the German Catholic population. They never acknowledge that what they said about Pius XII was indisputably false, they just switch to the general population so they can keep making Catholics look bad. Because unless you can account for every German Catholic's behavior, there's no way to prove anything they claim is wrong.

So they walk in with their game plan all laid out, and will make their accusations more general and more general, as needed depending upon how educated the population is, until they're effectively meaningless. This is classic Pravda style, it's right out of 1984.

Note that they're not blaming Germans. They're blaming Catholics. It would be just as appropriate to rail at all Germans. Blaming Catholics actually makes far less sense than blaming Germans, considering how many millions of Polish Catholics died at Nazi hands. But no one does that anymore. People are intelligent enough to not blame Germans today for what the Nazis did. But "the" Catholics? You know, like "the" Jews? They're still the vilest group of people around.

Fact is, buddy, your claims about the German population fall on deaf ears because you've already discredited yourself on your Pius smears.

But you're doing the folk at ANSWER a great service, donh. You should be proud.

by ignoring them, apparently. Could you please suggest why anyone should think that there weren't priests accompanying the SS? Or is it your plan to just take a pass, and go back to just being generally pissy when it comes to the actual details of history?
