[Notwithstanding]

Examine the actual words of the pope (click on the link) instead of the spin that liberal peacenik and conservative pope-haters put on it, and you find that he has not condemned this war.

As for you comment about WWII I say this: KOBLENZ POSTS SHOW THAT HE IS EITHER A STOOGE OR ELSE HE IS A LIAR AND A BIGOT.

You haven't read your history books. Koblenz is correct; the Vatican's behavior pre-WWII was abbhorent. They played games that would have done Bill Clinton credit.
It doesn't discredit the entier Catholic religion - every barrel has some bad apples.
