Today is the Catholic feast of St. Maximillian Kolbe, who gave his life in Auschwitz for a fellow prisoner who had a family. He was starved and finally executed via injection of carbolic acid when he wouldn't just die. He was a hero. He was also an antisemite. A thread. (1/12)

Sinead was right.
After Sinead O'Connor ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II in 1992, protesting sex abuse in the church, Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law called it "a gesture of hate" and "neo-anti-Catholicism," the Boston Globe reported. Law would resign 10 years later for covering up abuse.

Now why speak ill of the dead? Well, here's why: first of all, the truth matters. Being honest matters. But for far too long, well-intended Catholics have used Kolbe to express pride in Catholicism during WW2 and reject any criticism of inaction or worse, to deny evil. (2/12)
