... To implement its plans, The Vatican used the combination of religious and national chauvinism in Croatia. It was especially noticeable during the existence of the Independent State of Croatia in 1941-1945. The Roman Catholic Church was virtually collaborating with Croatian thugs.

Ivo Guberin, a Catholic priest, was the first to speak out for everyone. He said that they wanted to convert the Serbs to Catholicism with the help of the Yugoslavian state and a special agreement between the state and the church. When this plan became impossible, The Vatican lost its interest in friendly relations with Yugoslavia and started taking efforts to dismember the country.

Hundreds of thousands of Serbs, including priests, were sent to concentration camps during the years of World War II. Croatia offered three possibilities to the Serbs: to convert to Catholicism, to become a slave in work camps or to simply die. The consequences of all those historical events can be seen in current relations between Serbian and Croatian nations. About 200,000 Croatian Serbs were forced to flee in 1995, thousands of them were brutally slaughtered. Many Croatian butchers said that they were killing humans for the triumph of Catholicism. The Vatican has never repented for that.
