  • That's some great retconning from the church if that's their actual stance. :)

    "We didn't oppose the fascists when the moment came because we heard they were going to lose, but trust us, we were really on the side of good all along."

    To be fair, this is exactly what the Catholic church does and is good at, convincing people that they were on the side of good all along and white washing their history to remain relevant.

    It's staggeringly effective at every level. They've been doing it for almost 2000 years. I don't know of any other religion or cult that has managed to stay relevant for that long outside of the Catholic church, so they're doing something right, even if what they're doing "right" is actually quite wrong.

  • It was much too late by then. The Italian fascist movement was on the back foot and had been co-opted by Hitler and the Nazi party.

    The Vatican supported the rise of Fascism in the 20's and 30s. By 1937, fascism had already risen and everyone was about to start doing world war things in a couple years as a result.

    This is the MO for the church/Vatican, they are never on the side of good out of the gate, but retcon things later to make it appear like they were secretly the good guys somehow.

    History of the church and their decisions is long and bloody. This hasn't ever changed.

    But the church still tries to gaslight everyone that they've been the good guys all along.
