Susan Sarandon on Pope Benedict XVI: Nazi!
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...

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!!!

he was a kid! Lots of children had to join the Hitlerjugend and no one asked if they like it. Kids had no human rights under this regime and no choice. It was a very bad time and difficult to escape such an situation. Does she know him personally and said something wrong or why is she talking such nonsense?

Susan Sarandon's inaccurate, inappropriate, hateful remark is highly offensive and simply stupid. We all know that "You can't fix stupid", so stick to acting, Susan.

Yes, the European German Roman Catholic Christian Pope Joseph Ratzinger Benedict XVI was a Nazi, a bigoted hater of the Israeli Jewish Nationalist Freedom Fighter and the most proud Jewish religious leader Jesus Christ, and a pervert and sadistic participant in the monitoring, manipulating, lootting, arresting, injuring, molesting, raping, torturing, and killing of the milllions of Jewish men, women and children all over Europe before, during and after the second world war under the leadership and instructions of the most fundamentalist European German Christian Fuhrer Adolph Hitler. For the Nazis like the European German Roman Catholic Christian Pope Joseph Ratzinger Benedict XVI, the most fundamentalist European German Christian Fuhrer Adolph Hitler is the God and their lives are dedicated to him and they live every minute of their lives in the praise of their God Fuhrer Adolph Hitler, the worst human being and the most sadistic and pervert killer of human beings that the human worl

For some unknown reason actors think they know everything and have the right to say whatever the think. Did she forget about the freedom of religon and it's is disrespectful to put another's religion down. Your and aging actress, stick to you job and keep your insults to yourself and about your imperfections. You are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and neither am I. I'm catholic and it amazes me that people think nothing of insulting my religion but do it to them and catholics are all alike. Get over yourself. Your just an actor. Not God. Respect others as you would like them to respect you.
