Nazi Pope
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazi Pope is a disparaging term used by critics to refer to two different Popes of the Roman Catholic Church:
- Pope Pius XII, the Pope from 1939 to 1958.
- Pope Benedict XVI, the current Pope, was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and Dean of the College of Cardinals before becoming Pope.
