You are getting funny, posting Vichy government accusations. Or else desperate. What's next? Another charge of racism or anti-semitism? First of all, where's your proof? Second of all, how is this relevant to matters of faith? I acknowledge the Pope had been a good Polish patriot during the war--but he has still been colossally wrong to punish traditionalists. In other words, this is another smear and red herring at best.

That said, it should be noted the good Archbishop spent his life in the African missions, laboring in the vineyards, living in poverty. Do you really think he was deeply involved in supporting Hitler? There were many reasons Frenchmen supported the Vichy government besides sympathy for the Nazi cause--not least of which was a desire to spare the nation horrific destruction. Do you understand how silly these smears are getting on your part? You sound like Democrats straining to prove Bush was secretly hand-in-glove with Enron because the corporation once contributed to a political campaign fund. Give me a break.

The Archbishop was in good standing up until around 1970. He had been superior general of the Holy Ghost Fathers and had worked on the schema for Vatican II. In other words, none of this stuff about the Vichy government or anything else bothered any of you Novus Ordo types--UNTIL he began defending traditional Catholicism. Then all of a sudden his past is raked over for something--anything--that might possibly discredit him and lend credence to the charge that his motives were anything but honorable.

By participating in this transparent charade, you dishonor yourself.

And this tactic exposes a Leninist soul.

<> I think you better prepare yourself to receive a Bulla from Zvdiast. You conceeded the facts re Vichy. I suspect you will be excommunicated from the excommunicated. Now, I am not sure how this works. I'd prolly have to go back and research "Mad" magazine's "Spy vs Spy" to reconnect with the thought process:)<>
