Orthodox Church has again commemorated persecution by Vatican-Croat-NAZI persecution of Serbian Orthodox Christians in Hitler-occupied Yugoslavia.
In April 1941 Hitler occupied Kingdom of Yugoslavia and established NAZI(Ustashe) Croatia. Immediately Croat NAZI regime and the Roman-Catholic Church have organized dozens of death camps, the biggest one was Jasenovac death camp in which over 700 000 Orthodox Christians were martyred, Jasenovac death camp was directed by Roman-Catholic Gray Friars, Croatians organized 9 camps designed for eradication of Orthodox Christian Children population.
300 000 more Orthodox Christians were murdered outside of Jasenovac death camp in various smaller camps, ambushes, and their local villages and cities.
Ustashe Croat Leader Ante Pavelic was many times received in official audience by the Pope of Rome and blessed during the war. When the war ended, Ante Pavelic fled from the Allies Forces with the help of Vatican to Argentina and later Franco’s Fascist Spain.
In 2017 Vatican has again denied Orthodox Church full access to it’s archives, undermining Christian reconciliation.
As catholic I feel sorrow for our orthodox brethren and sadness and shame for the acts the Roman church genocides against Orthodox. May Christ forgive the catholic.
The Vatican has to make that available to the Church. Begin to heal the wounds of schism requires patience, prayer and communication.
"That ideology, bloody ideology, had found it's most bloody expression in Croatia. Unremembered mixture of worship of state, nation, race and "Christianity", all that was found in NAZI Croatia. Borders were lost between Ustashe (NAZI) Croatia and the catholic church. I invite you, as bishop of Jasenovac to come and see."
Orthodox Bishop John of Slavonia
The Vatican is KNOWN for the genocide of several ethnic and religious groups. Example: Native Americans…both north and south American peoples. Spain, on a Spanish ship going from Alaska to San Francisco, executed a Native American from Alaska that was an Orthodox priest because he refused to become Catholic…Vatican orders…and the ships captain carried those orders out. Another Papal Bull was issued to remove the language, property etc of any people found any place they went….basically ordering the genocide of many people. AND if anyone thinks they do not have their fingers in what is happening in the world at this time….you are wrong.
Va detto ad onor del vero che gli ustasha non erano inviati o delegati del Vaticano, ne della Chiesa Cattolica. Se poi si definivano "cattolici" è evidente che non lo erano a causa dei loro peccati personali… Ma alla Chiesa Cattolica in toto non possono essere imputate le loro azioni personali.
May Allah bless all your lost❤
As a Catholic I feel ashamed for what some priest let happened to the Orthodox faithful. Lord have mercy.
Poor 700k Serbs…
