Actress Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi during a discussion session at the Hamptons Film Festival over the weekend. Sarandon, who won an Academy Award for her role in the 1995 anti-death penalty film "Dead Man Walking,” said she had sent a copy of the book on which the movie is based to the Pope. "The last one. Not this Nazi one we have now," she reportedly told Newsday, referring to the German-born pontiff. She later repeated her remark at the Ciroc vodka-sponsored panel. A source tells Fox411.com that the crowd "didn't seem bothered" by Sarandon's words, and the discussion ended with the majority of the crowd praising her for everything from her work with UNICEF to her staunch support of Occupy Wall Street. However, the Catholic League of America was quick to slam Sarandon for her "obscene" words. “Susan Sarandon’s ignorance is willful: those who have hatred in their veins are not interested in the truth. The fact is that Joseph Ratzinger (the Pope) was conscripted at the age of 14 into the Hitler Youth, along with every other young German boy. Unlike most of the other teenagers, Ratzinger refused to go to meetings, bringing economic hardship to his family. Moreover, unlike most of the others, he deserted at the first opportunity,” the league’s President William Donohue said in a statement. “Sarandon’s comment is obscene. Sadly, it’s what we’ve come to expect from her.” Read more: www.foxnews.com Hmmmmm?	SurferJoe46 (51)

1238312	2011-10-19 00:06:00	Well technically she is correct the Pope was a Nazi because he was in the Hitler Youth. He was also in AN anti aircraft battery firing shots at our planes and people, not the thing you would think a potential man of the cloth would do. This pope is a stink pope anyway, the pope selection team should have selected a more compassionate dude from a predominately Catholic country. Not a Calvinist Lutheran country that was trying to invade the world.	prefect (6291)

Not a Calvinist Lutheran country that was trying to invade the world. Benedict's main appeal imo was that he is old, i.e. he got the votes because the cardinals did not want to be stuck with someone for a long time. He is now 84. John Paul II's papacy lasted over 26 years. Anyhow, good for Susan Sarandon. :thumbs:	Strommer (42)

Dangerous myths. Have you threatened your child with eternal damnation today????? +1 +1 +1 Consequently in many Western countries people are leaving traditional religions by the thousands. There are a lot of church buildings in NZ that are now cafes, art galleries, etc. However, some enlightened religious leaders actually agree with what you state DD, for example there are a growing number of ministers/priests in the Netherlands who now state the truth to their enlightened congregations (i.e. mythology, God is not a spiritual being, the Bible has been drastically altered over the centuries, Jesus was a man - not the son of 'God' - if he existed at all, etc.). The real danger is the growing number of religious fanatics and zealots in the world - Christians, Muslims, and others.	Strommer (42)

1238318	2011-10-20 18:34:00	Look at it this way if you were in the young Nats would you be a Nat? I think you've missed a point... People didn't have an option NOT joining the HJ - unlike young Nats who are voluntary... In the end, HJ was conscription and these kids were sent to fight Soviets when they were closing in on Berlin... I don't see how you can possibly draw a comparison with young Nats...	Cato (6936)
