Very true, but she was also a religious nut. I'm glad she did what she did, even though almost no one understood the protest at the time, but she was her own brand of crazy Catholic.

Aye. I remember it being big news worldwide that she tore up a picture of the pope. It was only decades later that I found out it was to protest molestations.

The Catholic Church is a criminal organization, and I mean what I say. Its high-ranking officials should be on trial.

She was ahead of the curve. Every pope is a bastard including the current, Pope "Molesty-up-cover" Francis.

True. One of the last ones were in Hitler Jugend but let's forgive and forget simple wrongdoings like being pro Nazi or raping children

[-] Aldrond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, honestly, as much as I dislike every Pope, that one wasn't his fault.

Hitler Youth was not optional, and they absolutely hurt and abused children under their care. I know because I know someone who was forced into that situation and suffers lasting trauma from it.
