Susan Sarandon on Pope Benedict XVI: Nazi!

by at .

Susan Sarandon is an outspoken liberal who has once again generated controversy with a statement.

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, says Sarandon is "a despicable person" who "doesn't know what she's talking about" when it comes to the pope's past.

During an interview over the weekend at the Hamptons Film Festival, the Oscar winner talked about sending a copy of the book "Dead Man Walking" to the pope and said: "The last one [Pope John Paul II], not this Nazi one we have now.”

Of course, it has come out that Pope Benedict actually was a member of the Hitler Youth party as a child, something required of boys his age at the time. But reps made it clear he never had any "active participation" in the group.

Sarandon drew laughter from the crowd at the event when she dropped this N word in reference to the pope a second time.

What do you think of the actress' claim? It's...

    The Seventh Commandant states," Thou shall not commit adultery". So why did the Catholic Church molester and systematically rape well in excess of 200 million children.? Did God give his permission. They the Catholic Church are terrorist a\nd should be classified as "persona non gratia" in all civilations worldwide

    Good for her! She should have said the catholic church was nazi though! The Papacy has done more to promote war than any other organization on the planet, & should be exposed as anti God itself. It is not obedient to the laws God gave, therefore, it is not from God the creator. 'Thou shalt not kill', 'men shall not lie with men for unnatural purposes.' This church's own priests think that it's ok, "It falls short of the ideal, but it isn't REALLY a sin because it's not really sex", Who you friggin' kidding? Licentiousness is sin. Be Gay by all means, but NOT if you claim to represent God, who despises such behaviour. I think more people should say it!

    Over the top US religious nonsense - he is, by his own admission of his past!! Get over it - just cos he was voted top to become the pope doesn't automatically absolve him from his past. Like you Americans always forgive/ forget ordinary criminals past and give them another chance NOT!!! @Ty - Umm what on earth has the left got to do with this? What's the difference here Eh?
