Pope beatifies Cardinal who ran Nazi death camps

Pope to visit Croatia and beatify WW2 cardinal
ZAGREB, May 8 (Reuters) - Pope John Paul II will visit
Croatia in October and beatify a World War Two Roman
Catholic cardinal who was imprisoned by Yugoslav
communist authorities, Croatian Archbishop Josip Bozanic
said on Friday.
Addressing a congregation in Krasic, the birthplace of
Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac, Bozanic said the Pope would
visit Croatia from October 2-4, the Hina state news
agency reported.
The Pope is expected to beatify Stepinac in a religious
service at the site of a pilgrimage shrine in Marija
Bistrica on October 3, Hina said.
The 77-year-old pontiff paid his first visit to Croatia
in 1994, three years after the country gained
independence from federal Yugoslavia.
Stepinac was arrested and tried by Yugoslav authorities
for allegedly supporting the Nazi-backed Ustasha
fascists, who killed thousands of Jews Serbs and Gypsies
in Croatia. He died under house arrest in 1960.

Archbishop Stepinac: "God, who directs the destiny of
nations and controls the hearts of Kings, has given us
Ante Pavelic [head of a Nazi puppet regime in Yugoslavia]
and moved the leader of a friendly and allied people,
Adolf Hitler, to use his victorious troops to disperse
our oppressors... Glory be to God, our gratitude to Adolf
Hitler and loyalty to our Poglavnik [fuhrer], Ante
Pavelic."
At the end of WWI, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were
declared independent states. The Catholic Croats were now
a minority in Yugoslavia. The Vatican decided to change
this and got themselves involved with former Russians who
had "fled the Boshevik takeover and were determined to
return to defeat 'the Reds.'" Ante Pavelic was "among its
most vicious and sadistic leaders" and was "destined to
be of great service both to Hitler and the Vatican as the
head of a Nazi puppet regime in Yugoslavia known as the
Ustasha."
Even though the lawful leadership of Croatia at this time
was Catholic, even they were suspicious of the Vatican.
The Vatican got around this by promoting their man Ante
Pavelic who formed "an illegal army of pro-Vatican
terrorists" in partnership with Croatian Archbishop
Stepinac. "These two arch-criminals were responsible for
numerous assassinations, including Yugoslavian King
Alexander and French Foreign Minister Barthou (1934), as
well as Croat Peasant Party leader Radich (128). (The
latter had warned against and opposed the machinations of
the Vatican and thus had to be removed.)"
Because of these deaths, Pavelic is sentenced to death by
both France and Yugoslavia but Mussolini, "out of loyalty
to the Vatican," gave Pavelic asylum in Italy and
refused to extradict him.
The Ustashi's main goal is to form a Catholic Croatian
state in Yugoslavia and when Hitler moves in, Pavelic is
tapped to head the puppet regime there.
Pavelic's solution to the problem of non-Catholics was
either deportation or liquidation and the tactics he
used even sickened the Nazis. "Pavelic reprimanded Hitler
for being too lenient in his treatment of the Jews and
boasted that in Croatia he had completely solved the
'Jewish problem.'" Approximately 50,000 Jews were either
liquidated or shipped to Nazi death camps.
"Most of Croatia's Catholic clergy were fanatically
behind Pavelic and his unbelievably evil regime. Medals
were even given by Pavelic to nuns and priests, thus
betraying the fact that many of them played active roles
alongside the Ustashi military"
Two investigators writing on Pavelic's friendship with
top clergy write:
"When the Ustashi were ushered into Zagreb by the
Germans, Archbishop Stepinac of Croatia immediately
offered his congratulations to the poglavnik and held a
banquet to celebrate the founding of the new nation...
[Stepinac] arranged to have Pavelic received by Pope Pius
XII [in Rome]."
Former BBC commentator Avro Manhattan, an expert on
Vatican policies, has written: "...here the Catholic
Church [erected] a State in complete accord with all her
tenets. The result was a monster standing upon the armed
might of twin totalitarianisms: the totalitarianism of a
ruthless Fascist State and the totalitarianism of
Catholicism... What gives to such a creature of Vatican
diplomacy its peculiar importance is that here we have an
example of the Catholic Church's implementing all her
principles unhampered by opposition, or by fear of world
opinion.
"The uniqueness of the Independent Catholic State of
Croatia lies precisely in this: that it provided a model,
in miniature, of what the Catholic Church, had she the
power, would like to see in the West and, indeed,
everywhere. As such it should be carefully scrutinized.
For its significance...is of the greatest import to all
the freedom-loving peoples of the world."
Once Pavelic was in power, Archbishop Stepinac issued a
Pastoral Letter ordering the Croatian clergy to support
the new Ustasha State. "The involvement of Catholic
clergy either in active participation or in blessing the
Ustashi-run holocaust is well-documented... Archbishop
Stepinac headed the committee which was responsible for
forcible 'conversions' to Roman Catholicism under threat
of death and was also the Supreme Military Apostolic
Vicar of the Ustashi Army, which effected the slaughter
of those who failed to convert. Stepinac was known as the
'Father Confessor' to the Ustashi and continually
bestowed the blessing of Holy Mother Church upon its
members and actions."
"After the opening of the Ustasha Parliament, Pavelic
attended the Zagreb cathedral, where Archbishop Stepinac
offered special prayers for his good friend and ordered a
solemn Te Deum to be sung in thanks to God for the
establishment of the new regime."
"Unlike the Germans, who were interested only in the
quickest and most efficient means of mass extermination,
the Catholic Ustashi, with priests and bishops
participating and giving their blessing, took great
pleasure from 'torturing before killing. Most of their
victims were not shot but were strangled, drowned,
burned, or stabbed to death.'"
After the war Stepinac was arrested by the Yugoslav
government and sentenced to 17 years in prison for war
crimes. He only served a few years because of the
Vatican's propaganda of the "suffering martyr" and their
organizing of "Cardinal Stepinac Associations" which
lobbied for his release. [Note--for a job well done he
was made a cardinal.]
