The Orthodox Church does not support murderers of the innocent.

Кад крст и пушка стоје о истом рамену-могу разумети само у смислу да крст казује да је пушка ту у знак љубави према ближњем, у одбрани правде и мира од насиља злочинаца.

Патријарх Павле

In English

When the rifle and the cross are on the same shoulder, I can understand, but only if the rifle is there as a protection of love to the one who is close to me and to protect justice and peace from the tortures by the enemy.

Dusan, (excuse me if this is your surname because I don't know the Slav language and both your names are unfamiliar to me) -

Dusan, I said murderers of the innocent. If atrocities were committed then the culprits should pay, no matter what religion they are. The difficult thing here is that only those involved know what happened. The rest of us must rely on often incorrect information given to us by either incompetent, lazy or, even worse, reporters of the mass media who have their own reasons to mislead us.

That is why I also said that the law should be impartial and the same rules applied to all sides involved. The fact that this is not the case makes us wonder why the truth is being distorted in this way.

A couple of weeks ago I was reading a history book and there was a reference in it to the Roman Catholic Church and it's activities during WWII, especially concerning the elimination of the Orthodox Serbs. I was only reconnected to the Internet yesterday so have had no chance to find more information about this matter - in fact I had forgotten all about it until I read your message.
