re: #34 Feline Fearless Leader
Today’s Wikipedia wander went to some odd places.
A site I read is covering WW2 day-by-day 70 years ago. Today in 1944 was the partisan attack in Rome that directly led to a German reprisal killing of over 300 Italians the next day in the Ardeatine Caves near Rome.
From there I was reading about the follow-on from those events - debate about whether the partisan attack was a legitimate act of war or terrorism, the reaction (or arguably lack of reaction) by the Vatican, what happened to the German officers that handled the reprisal after the war, etc.
That eventually led to the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) and the fact that there are splinter “traditionalist” Catholic organizations who consider the current Holy See illegitimate and hopelessly “modernists”.
“[D]ebate about whether the partisan attack was a legitimate act of war or terrorism.” Really?
