Challenge to Hollywood

            I recently wrote two articles about two of my favorite movies: “King Arthur – Director’s Cut” (2004) by Jerry Bruckheimer, and “Kingdom of Heaven” (2005) by Ridley Scott.  “King Arthur” has scenes that give us an example of the horrible torture that the Roman Catholic Church used against innocent people for many centuries.  “Kingdom of Heaven” exposes the true history of the Roman Catholic crusades in the Holy Land: mentioning the fact that Roman Catholic Crusaders slaughtered men, women, and children en masse when they captured Jerusalem.  “Kingdom of Heaven” also showed how religious leaders rationalized murder and mayhem with slogans like “It is God’s will!  Indeed, organized religion – and especially the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church – has been one of the greatest purveyors of torture and religious genocide that the world has ever seen!

            Hollywood has given us some good documentaries and movies about the Jewish Holocaust that occurred in Europe during World War II.  And that is a good thing – because we must remember the mistakes of history, or we will keep repeating them.   However, Hollywood, for the most part, has failed to produce documentaries and movies dealing with some of the lesser known, but equally important, genocides.  It has also failed, for the most part, to deal with some very important history surrounding World War II.  Some folks in the “alternative media” and the so-called “patriot movement” tell us that “the Jews” totally control Hollywood.  If that is true (which it is not), then Hollywood ought to have no problem producing some great documentaries and movies about the following, since the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has been the greatest enemy to the Jews for the past 1600 plus years:

• “The Albigensian Crusades”: Pope Innocent III ordered this military campaign against Christian farmers and peasants in southern France – for the most part because they were Bible-believing Christians who refused to submit themselves to corrupt papal authority.  The “crusades” took place from 1208 through 1226, and were “kicked off” with the slaughter of over 20,000 men, women, and children in the city of Beziers.  Army after army was sent into southern France until the Albigensian Christians were exterminated!
• “The Vatican’s Holocaust in Croatia”: This was one of the most gruesome – and most underreported – genocides in history.  The leadership of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia teamed up with the Croatian Catholic Fascist government during World War II to torture and butcher from 600,000 to one million innocent Serb Orthodox Christian men, women, elderly, and children.  A Roman Catholic militia, the Ustashi, led and urged on by priests, monks, and friars, carried out a brutal religious genocide that included impaling children on stakes; crucifying Orthodox priests to wooden doors; raping and mutilating women and young girls; burning, burying, and flaying people alive, etc.
• “Vatican Support of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Other Fascist States in Europe during World War II – and the Vatican Ratlines”: A Roman Catholic Knight of Malta named Franz von Papen and the Catholic Centrum Party in Bavaria put Hitler into power.  Catholic priests were officers in the Central Security Service of the Nazi SS.  The Vatican also helped many Fascist war criminals escape via “the Vatican Ratlines” at the end of the war!  Vatican involvement in World War II was extensive – and very evil!
