Most have heard of the Holocaust, although some brainless antisemitic f**knuts deny it happened. Well, it fu***ng happened. You want to know what else happened at the same time? The Asian Holocaust. When it comes to the holocausts of World War II, the Catholic Church has a complicated history.
--On This Day in History S**t Went Down: October 9, 1937--
In Europe, there were those in the Church who were vehemently anti-N**i, and they risked their lives to hide Jewish people from extermination. But Pope (notso) Pius XII knew the Holocaust was taking place and refused to say anything or to publicly condemn it. He was a pawn of the fu***ng N***s, rightly earning the name “Hitler’s pope.” Then there was the fact that the Church helped a lot of N**i assbags escape to South America after the war.
But as I mentioned, there were members of the clergy who resisted not just the N***s, but also the Japanese who were in the process of murdering Chinese people by the millions.
About twenty million Chinese died in World War II, very much warranting the name Asian Holocaust. Japan was an absolute bastard, as bad as the N***s, and has been parsimonious in apologizing for their myriad atrocities, which is why relations between the two nations remain strained.
The full-scale invasion of China by Japan began in 1937. About 160 miles south of Beijing is the county of Zhengding. During the invasion, 5,000 members of the local Chinese population in Zhengding sought refuge with Dutch Catholic Bishop Frans Schraven. Many of them were young women. The Japanese commander had said to his men hey you did a great job with all that war criming so here you can have a free pass to loot and r**e and murder.
On October 9, 1937, Japanese soldiers approached the mission and told Schraven to hand over all the young women so the soldiers could go on a ra**ng spree. The bishop replied with, “You can kill me if you want, but I will never give what you are demanding.” They did kill him. Bishop Schraven and eight of his priests were handcuffed, doused in gasoline, and set on fire.
Of course, the Japanese deny this ever happened, saying it was rogue elements of the Chinese army that did it. Sure.
The s*x crimes of the Catholic Church are legion, but in this case, Schraven and his priests died trying to protect women from being repeatedly r**ed. Schraven is currently being considered by the Church for beatification as the patron saint of victims of s*xual abuse.
Those who cannot remember the past need a history teacher who says “f**k” a lot. Get both volumes of “On This Day in History S**t Went Down” at JamesFell.com/books.
