The national press today is reporting that Pope Francis has visited the former concentration camp at Auschwitz in Poland, where - we are expected to believe - more than a million supposedly Jewish people were put to death in gas chambers.
The communist leanings of the newspaper in question can be gleaned from the fact that it reports that Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Red Army in 1945. Why do they not report that it was captured by the Soviet Red Army?
How many Polish women were raped by Russian soldiers as the Red Army advanced across Poland? How many people from western countries were allowed to visit Auschwitz in the immediate aftermath of the war? (I believe that the one figure was considerably higher than the other, which may in fact have been zero.)
The truth is that for more than forty years after the end of the Second World War, Poland was effectively a vassal state of the evil Soviet Union. There was no democracy, and very little freedom of speech.
If Pope Francis has yet spoken out about the evils of communism, then I'm afraid it has passed me by. Also, I have yet to hear Pope Francis condemn the wars perpetrated by the evil governments of the USA and the United Kingdom.
Come to think of it, I can't recall Pope Francis ever advising Catholics not to vote in elections for political parties which support abortion. Comments are welcome.
