Aye. I remember it being big news worldwide that she tore up a picture of the pope. It was only decades later that I found out it was to protest molestations.
No, honestly, as much as I dislike every Pope, that one wasn’t his fault.
Hitler Youth was not optional, and they absolutely hurt and abused children under their care. I know because I know someone who was forced into that situation and suffers lasting trauma from it.
I remember it well and pretty much everyone at the time was baffled because the scandal just wasn’t that well-known outside of specific Catholic circles yet. Which just gave priests more time and more coverage until it actually started coming out in a big way a few years ago. It should have started the ball rolling then and there, but ripping up a picture of the pope and saying, “fight the real enemy” without giving context did not help the case.

The Catholic Church is a criminal organization, and I mean what I say. Its high-ranking officials should be on trial.
She was ahead of the curve. Every pope is a bastard including the current, Pope “Molesty-up-cover” Francis.
True. One of the last ones were in Hitler Jugend but let’s forgive and forget simple wrongdoings like being pro Nazi or raping children

She literally added the lyric “child abuse” to her performance of “War” prior to tearing up the photo.

Source? According to Wikipedia it was the molestations, for which the pope apologised 9 years later, so 15 seems far fetched.
Edit: Granted, at the time all she said was Fight the real evil, so no wonder people were confused.
