Is it true that the Catholic Church supported the actions of the terroristic Croatian Ustashe group in the 1940s? The Ustashe apparently genocided many, including Orthodox Christians, forced conversions to the Catholic Church, exiled many, etc. I've read that many members of the Church were supportive or at least complicit in the Ustashe, even Pope Pius XII. How true are these acuusations? And has the Church in Croatia, or the Vatican ever apologized or said anything about this?

Thank You.

I don't know about who supported the Ustaše, however, I do know for a fact that the genocide allegation is a hoax, and Jasenovac is a hoax.

Here is a book about what actually happened. This book was published in England because nobody would publish it in Croatia. Mrs Matković somehow managed to get access to some of the communist archives sealed for over 60 years. Most of the information and docuмents concerning WW2, the homeland war, missing persons, mass murders, etc. are in Belgrade and nobody is allowed access to them. Yes, even notices of whether someone's son is dead or alive and where he is buried. This is a major political issue in Croatia, or at least it used to be.

To anyone familiar with the Holoax it will come as no surprise that the nαzι-affiliated Ustaše were staunch anti-communists, however, they were even very friendly with the Church and instituted many Catholic policies. For example, anyone found with pornography was executed and periodically homes were searched for pornography, there was mandatory catechism from grades 1-12, and the like.

The claim that Cardinal Stepinac forcibly converted anyone is false. I don't know about whether somebody else was doing it. Of note is that Stepinac resisted the communist attempt to sever the Catholic Church in Croatia from Rome (like Malta) and was therefore imprisoned in a show trial and slowly poisoned to death.

Regarding Jasenovac, there's a billion ways to prove it is a hoax, but here's some mathematical proof.



As you can see, the lazy Chetniks (Serbian communist soldiers) preferred round years and years ending with 2 while inventing victims.

There's a whole study analyzing birth date distribution in Jasenovac compared to other camps published in a respectable mainstream journal: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/docuмent/9306761 (tvor.hr)

(P.S. this analysis takes other camps', such as Auschwitz, death tolls as fact. So it seems the Jєωs were at least smart enough to follow a normal distribution of birth dates while the Serbs were... let's say lazy...)

Of course, the publishers distance themselves from the facts:

The Jasenovac hoax was, of course, invented to distract from Communist murders and actual genocide that was taking place against Catholics and, funnily enough, Jєωs in Serbia. Yes, the non-nαzι Serbs exterminated almost all Jєωs in Serbia, just because they hate them.

Another "funny" fact is that during the homeland war the population of Serbia actually increased while Croatia's was severely diminished. Today, around half of Croats live outside of Croatia.

If you want to research an actual tragedy that you will probably find excused to no end on such idiotic sources as Wikipedia, you can look up the Bleiburg massacre (in Blanka Matković's book), colloquially called the Bleiburg way of the Cross, in which the English turn over around 400,000 prisoners of war to be massacred, almost half of them Croats.

Jasenovac for Croatians is a hoax like h0Ɩ0cαųst of 6 million Jєωs. When in early 60s communist started to dig, they found skeletons and uniforms od Ustasha and Domobrans who were regular army in the NDH, Nezavisna Država Hrvatska. That means in English Independent State of Croatia, literally. They stopped digging and covered up all. Some historians are finally bringing the truth on surface, but they are censored in all mainstream media in Croatia. Because all mainstream media are under control of (neo)communists and freemasons. Even in the alternative media there is a lot of false right opposition.
I live in Croatia, and have my family members who fought in 90s against Serbians. We were betrayed behind our backs, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Most of the cities and villages that there were ethnically cleansed were Croatian ones. That happened in 1941. also. Serbian Orthodox priests supported extreme right army, Četnici (Troopers, eng.) and some of them like pop Momčilo Džujić (Djujic) have commited war crimes personally. Never one Croatian Catholic priest let alone bishop did kill some one on attack on foreign land. If they ever killed someone, it was in self defense. After uprising of "Troopers" and communists, Ustashe took revenge and sometimes did crimes also. I'm not defending them. I had some of my ancestors in Ustasha regular army, some of them changed side to partisans later because they were losing war.
But much of official history in schools and universities today is false, and formed by communist Yugoslavia institutions.
Cardinal Stepinac protested against some actions against president Pavelich, but Ustashe didn't persecute Catholics at all. He was a dictator like Francisco Franco, just he was forced to choose "lesser" evil. Italian fascist wanted our coast and he could't wage war against them with no army. Serbians attacked villages and civilians even before NDH was formally founded as a state. Cardinal Stepinac had full support of the popes Pius XI. and Pius XII. He was made a cardinal when he was just a 43 years old. He was a traditionalist, he condemned priests that make compromises with communists. He rebuke doctors for doing and supporting abortions, he spoke against modernism and liberalism, and often agains Jєωιѕн Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ. That's why he can't be a saint even after he is already met all requirements. At least acording to new canonization process.
I would like to a future, real Catholic pope to start from start process of beatification because this is doubtful.
For us Croatians, he will be a hero, a true shepard that is patriotic and faithful to the pope and God until the death.
