The Catholics Are Disgusted With Susan Sarandon For Calling The Pope A Nazi
Any grown woman who proudly licks a giant piece of shiny wood in public can almost do no wrong in my eyes, so I'm already on Team Louise. But in case you need more reasons before choosing a side (you should really choose our side since we have booze other than wine and children are definitely not allowed on our side), here's the whole story...
At the Hamptons Film Festival on Saturday, Bob Balaban of Newsweek was interviewing Susan Sarandon about her career when she admitted to sending Pope John Paul II a copy of Dead Man Walking and then she pulled my abuelita's black lace praying veil off when she called the current Pope a "nazi." Susan put it like this: "The last [pope]. Not this Nazi one we have now." After Bob clutched his rosary with his eyes, Susan melted the communion wafers some more by repeating herself.
Pope Eggs Benedict (aka Pope Palpatine) was a Hitler Youth and says that he was forced to do so. Bill Donohue, the blow hole who runs the Catholic League, responded to Susan Sarandon's comment and made it clear that she will not get an invitation to the Pope's Prada trunk show party anytime soon:
"Joseph Ratzinger (the pope) was conscripted into the Nazi Youth the way every other 14-year-old German boy was at the time. Unlike most others, he not only refused to go to the compulsory meetings -- he actually deserted the Hitler Youth! Which is precisely why Jews today regard him as a friend, not as an enemy."In short, what Sarandon said is positively obscene."
You know, Bill Donohue completely moved me into changing sides. He's right. What came out of Susan's mouth was positively obscene! POSITIVELY! It's about as positively obscene as hiding child touchers (like the fucking Harriet Tubman of holy pedophiles). Oh...wait....

YES! the pope is a pile of dirt for standing by those bastards.

I'm sorry but there is NO difference between pope John Paul II politics and the new pope ones. Stop with the bullshit. I can't believe I'm defending this old fart, but no he is not a nazi (he was 14 years old, it was the law).
I know it sounds cool to insult this guy, but you have to be logical, you don't agree with the Vatican politics, then you can't have ever appreciate with John Paul II. I know people like to think of him as a martyr but he was as much as a retrograde than Ratsinger, I don't think he did anything significant with the pedophile priests either.
Susan Saradon is an hypocrite who is trying to sound hype. NEXT

Ditto.
The only difference between B16 and JP2 is that the latter had charisma and can talk to people. Nothing more nothing less.
It's not Ratzinger that met and hugged Pinochet during his visit in Chile, nor is Ratzinger the only one that covered the scandal of the pedophile priests in America during the '90s.
Quit the BS, JP2 is no saint.
Movie star celebrities are so notoriously uneducated that even when they land accidentally on an interesting subject, they do it no justice with their wonky, self-centered reasoning. I know she fancies herself a politico but it always comes off as half-baked and free of social nutrition.
So the current Pope not only allows his homeboys to touch on little boys...t he was also a baby Nazi?
The plot trickens...

I think Susan may not know much about history, including the rise of the Nazi party, but it doesn’t bother me in the least that she voices her opinions. She’s mouthy and I like that in a woman. I would rather argue with someone who is passionate, rather than a sheep that just follows the crowd.

she IS a sheep who follows a crowd. she's certainly not a leader. i only like to argue with people who know what they are talking about and aren't ignorant about the issue.

As for the Catholic church and its positions on social and political issues, it makes sense if you consider that the church is a corporate entity; they view their current troubles as a public relations issue, not a moral one.
My dad was a lapsed Catholic and said he liked being a Catholic because you could drink and fuck all you wanted, as long as you went to mass and asked forgiveness. Talk about a role model.

Agreed.
Since she doesn't have any scripts to review, she should read Martin Gilbert's work The Righteous to learn which Gentiles actively opposed the Third Reich, who collaborated, and who turned a blind eye. This mouthy hypocrite doesn't know much about history and will say anything for money or media exposure.

So, the pope is just a dude in a funny hat and dress to me, and I don't care what she calls him, but she's got to know she's mocking her catholic fans by saying this shit, and there is really no purpose served with this type of hyperbole.
And I agree, she does has wonky eyes, always has had.

The Pope being a NAZI is the least of his failures, he's still a pedophile protector. He's lied, had others lie and destroy legal documents to protect his pedo priests from criminal and civil justice. The man is just evil. He's also GAY, google the photos of his executive ASSistant, the one dressed in Versace and try to tell me there is not gay servicing happening.
I'm Catholic and I can't stand this Pope and the one before him was just as bad. They give religion a bad name.

HA Ha-how true!
He is a fucking Nazi and I would hardly describe him as a big friend of jews and he said some very polarizing stuff about Islam which is the last fucking thing we need now in the world-more reasons to divide us....
This in addition to the fact that he was the one who could have done something about the sexual predator priests....and then theres the catholic church on the gheys, not doing shit about encouraging condom use to prevent HIV in Africa and then theres the anti choice crap....
All in all -I dont like him...
John Paul seemed pretty inoffensive-just kind of grinned and waved vaguely...
"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"
Jews can withstand the pope but they don't love him, the Vatican took a stance of neutrality during WWII and not to mention even recently they've said they accept Jews but still threw in the disclaimer that they should really accept Jesus as their savior.
And Susan Sarandon? She doesn't give a fuck. I saw her in New York once and she'll have you quivering in your boots, I wouldn't wanna mess with her. In general there's a big "Fuck off" demeanor that I've come to respect about her.

Nazi or not, Pope Benedict is pretty freaking lame. Didn't do jack about priests molesting young people, or support birth control that would prevent unwanted births. He is useless. Susan Sarandon is like Jane Fonda ( well, Hanoi Jane was a dipshit ), saying unpopular things that freak out many people, but the Catholic Church needs to address some very serious issues, and they won't. Screw them.
I'm Team Louise on this one.
As a recovering Catholic-the Church seriously needs to get into this century, especially with women. Barefoot and pg doesn't cut it any more.
Kansas City Bishop Joseph Finn was recently indicted for not reporting abuse.

I'm sure it goes on up the line.
I guess Susan doesn't subscribe to the Catholic belief that anyone can be redeemed and forgiven.

Don't like the Pope: anti-gay, anti-Choice, anti-condom. Don't like Sarandon and the saggy udders she always unleashes upon us. Put them in the Hexagon and let them fight to the death (preferably, the death of both of them!)
Meh. I think he was a willing Nazi, and I think he still has anti-Semitic tendencies today. I'm also disgusted with his kiddie diddler cover-up, and I don't care who's offended by my views.

It is not for me to judge whether or not someone is a good on religious grounds. Her opinion is just as valid as anyone else's.
If she does not respect the organization,she shouldn't associate herself with it to advance her career, or to gain attention.
I knew a neurobiologist who was offered a humanitarian award given by the RC Church. It was to recognize his research in schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.Dr. M refused it because he did not want to associate himself or his work reputation with the Vatican at any level, for any reason. The situations seem similar to me.
I just think people should put their money where their mouths are, that's all.

The Catholic church is a weird thing. I was brought up Catholic, 13 yrs of Catholic schooling, choir, the whole nine. I don't practice anymore for a million reasons but I would venture to say that most "Catholics" who attend church (as most of those I knew growing up) don't give two shits about what the Pope thinks. Cafeteria Catholics, as they say. The people who run the church at the highest levels are soooo far removed from their "flock" that they'd be appalled at all the things they do and believe without giving a thought to the church.

I don't give a flying fuck that Pope Creep was in the Hitler youth. What I do care about is that he was directly involved in sweeping child molestation cases under the rug but yet there are people that regard him as some divine creature and that makes me sick to my stomach.

Can't believe I'm defending the pope but I don't agree with Susan's remark. I also have family connections during wartime Germany and let's face it, war ain't pretty. Sometimes ordinary people gotta do stuff just to keep their necks. He was 14. Leave it.

but what about this type of
nazi?
***********
from the Urban Dictionary, always a fun read....
spelling nazi - a person who freaks out when a little spelling mistake has occured or has be a constant little asshole about it.
A person who is usually educated but can't stand spelling errors. Especially common ones
In essence, in a chatroom context, a person who insists on rectifying the spelling errors of anyone by rephrasing the said line accordingly. To remain faithful to their cause, they must invariably make no spelling mistakes whatsoever of their own, otherwise he/she is engaging in hypocrisy, in turn, looking like an oblivious dumbass.

Granted KA it is in poor taste to use the word 'Nazi' loosely, I for one will never use it again, now that you mention it....but further typos and spelling mistakes are guaranteed...:)

Is Mrs. Patrick Campbell aware that Pope Dark Beer is a homosexual?
Irish catholic here: the Church won't give in about celibacy which is a huge part of the problem. The church is not willing to support a priest and his/her family. Yeah I said her. The church lives in the Dark Ages. The Church is scared to death of wimmin'.
no one said sarandumb couldn't say what she wants. -why do people always bring up freedom of speech? -it's kinda irrelevant here.
point is, yeah, we can say whatever the fuck we want ... but the other side is that other's can have opinions and say what they want too-about what she said.
it's great how it works that way.
just because you got freedom of speech doesn't absolve you from accountability to your own words.
and also, i don't see a whole lot of pope defending as much as i see defending truth -that sarandumb is blaming a kid for adult acts ... and a kid who denounced nazism as a kid.
so, she's a fucking gape-mouth fucking moron.
we recognize.
... by the way, i am a recovering catholic, haven't set foot in a church in decades. i'm not defending a pope, i'm defending a guy against a baseless and untrue/unwarranted attack.

Susan Sarandon never misses a chance to bash Roman Catholicism. That did not stop her from playing a nun, Sister Helen Prejean,or from accepting an Oscar for doing so.
***************
Susan Sarandon was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, the whole nine yards. I don't think she's irreligious by any means. The fact that she loved Pope John and not this one doesn't make her a bad Catholic, just like not loving a current President doesn't make one unpatriotic.
Interesting to see some Pope defenders here. I have strong feelings against the dude. Protects child molesters. Condemns homosexuality even though you know he's a flaming queen. Rails against CONDOMS, for freak's sake! We may chuckle, but think of the millions who hold his word. Even without the Nazi past, he's done more evil than good in this world. And judging by that evil mug, I think he likes it.
Anyway, Catholic by upbringing, but not a fan of this guy. And yes, Susan Sarandon can talk about whatever she wants, if there IS still freedom of speech.
*promptly gets struck by lightning sent from the Pope*
Aieee!!!
How do you apologists fucks sleep at night? You must be Catholic.

It's not about knocking people for beliefs. But there's nothing anyone can say that is more magical than anyone else's words. Me saying there is no God is no more powerful than you saying there is. Both are and should be open for debate. Nothing should be territorial about it. I don't have more special knowledge than my neighbor about God's existence.. and just being "born into a faith" isn't any more privileged than NOT born into something. And I came to my personal set of views based on life, not "born" into it. I was born naked and not knowing of any beliefs.. and I'm trying to revert back to that kind of rare innocence.. in some odd form, even though now that I'm well-read that won't happen... but would rather not see the world or nature religiously. But that isn't to say I can't stomach another's beliefs. Just that all is open to debate and should be.
saggy raggedy ass hag. i've got farts with more i.q. points than sarandumb. probably better breath too.
by her own standards of judgement, she's a nasty incontinent who pisses and shits her pants, even at the dinner table while pulling other folk's hair and abuses animals too. a drooling know-nothing.

While I believe that Susan Sarandon believes the things she says, she tries REALLY hard to be provocative, to the point of being obnoxious. She also tends to make all or nothing statements with no room for debate or discussion.
Don't knock the catholic, assholes. We all have different views on everything on here, so lets not count this one out. I was raised catholic. My great aunt is a nun. She is also a doctor and was the head of the nursinging department at U of Washington for many years in Seattle. I don't like the new pope either. But it doesn't mske me knock how I was raised. Of corase I am not as strict as I was when I was younger, but disrespecting people for what they believe in really draws a line
Yanno, I've been to the Vatican.. Rome was my first overseas trip and I went with a class and I watched the Pope speak and did not feel anything for the event at all. At the time, I was losing my Christianity, but still a Christian, and felt nothing "divinely" inspired by the place. I just kept thinking: "Wow... religion was sure profitable back then. Still is, but WOW.. back then... oh my lordy. Thank the Spaghetti Monster his tentacles touched me and gave me tentacle sex instead.
