A fascist collaboration with the Germans. Its a shame the Partisans never hanged him.

Alen Budaj, an associate of the Jerusalem-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, has said that the coutries that are legal successors to the former Yugoslavia, Serbia in particular, must send a strong diplomatic protest to the Vatican over its intention declare Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac a saint. The Vatican has officially confirmed that Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac will soon be declared a saint.

Immediately upon the entering of the Germans in Zagreb, on April 10, 1941, Stepinac supported the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia (ISC), which was declared a state by the Ustasha (Croatian fascist movement), and in 1945, he fought for the preservation of the regime headed by Ustasha leader Ante Pavelic. Budaj believes that a protest against sanctifying Stepinac, who took part in the creation and implementation of NDH ideas during World War II, needs to be made even at the cost of breaking off diplomatic relations with the Vatican.

Much ado about nothing. All Christians are saints. Nothing special about proclaiming some better than others. Hocus pocus I say.

Stepinac was Beatified in 1998. He was jailed and poisoned by communists. That is as saintly as it gets. May God be merciful and bring justice to those who spread calumny, lies, against those who serve Him and His church, and all Christians being persecuted. God’s justice is swift, that’s all we need to remember.

Communist + Anti-catholic propaganda = a winning combination!

Sainthood is not like the Nobel Peace Prize which is given to any dog that meets the favor of the left. There’s a lot of waiting and research completed before someone is given sainthood to make sure the person is worthy. I have doubts about the legitimacy of the protest.
