| Yes, bergeron's post is a weird one: starts out about the Holocaust and ends up an anti-Catholic rant. It casts a wide net to draw together a few well-documented cases on which to base a sweeping generalization. It's true that Diem was a bit of a religious nut, but history is rife with them, ain't it, and they aren't all Catholic by a long shot. Croatia too, but then look at modern-day Serbia. As for Northern Ireland, the Vatican has missed no opportunity to condemn the violence. Trying to pin that one on them is a painful stretch.
But the weirdness prize goes to the aptly named Inquisitor. Not every day we get to read a full-fledged Nazi on this board. An actual goosestepping, blödsinnredender Brownshirt. It ain't every day.
Saying that there's "no factual evidence apart from suvivour's accounts" is like saying that there's no factual evidence to prove that the Earth isn't flat. And your soulmates in the Flat Earth Society will never abandon their conviction any more than you will. No matter what, eh?
