Infamous: Cardinal Puljic blessed criminal Dario Kordic
In recent days, a lot of attention to the public in Bosnia and Croatia drew the release of war criminal Dario Kordic, convicted for crimes against Bosniaks in Ahmici and Lasva valley to 25 years in prison. On this occasion we will not talk about the case of an attack on peace activist Zoran Scouts Vujčić who mustered the courage to Kordic welcoming shouts of "Satan, killers," but a shameful support that certain high-ranking representatives of the Catholic Church testified against the above-mentioned Hague convicts.
Our public is not widely known that the Bosnian Archbishop Cardinal Vinko Puljic openly supported Dario Kordic, and even visited him twice in prison premises! The last time these visits took place in Graz on 06/15/2013. whatever., when Puljic visited Kordic accompanied by Fr. Mirko Simic, director of Caritas of the same archbishopric, personal secretary Fr. Davor Topic, nuns Kate Ostojic, director of kindergartens in Sarajevo, Fr. Davor Juric and Fr Francis Jurinec, head of the Catholic mission in Graz. The said news is transmitted by several Croatian media, and the official Facebook group supporting Dario Kordic.
On that occasion Puljic blessed Kordic, prayed for him and the friendly chat. Croatian media reported that the cardinal's question: "When do you think you could finally get out of jail?" Kordic said only: "I do not want to leave any minute earlier while it is not God's will, and He is the one who decides."
Although this event happened last year, in Bosnia and Herzegovina passed quite unnoticed, although our public certainly had to be concerned about these visits by high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such an irresponsible act gives legitimacy to one convict and indirectly justify his horrendous crime.
For how and in what way to understand blagoslvo Cardinal's hardened war criminal Kordic, if we remember that the same Puljic 2010 in the presence of then-reis-ul-ulema Mustafa Ceric and Croatian President paid tribute ubijeim Bosniaks in Ahmici, and today hangs I pray for their killers!?
At least the Catholic Church and its representatives can do is make a public apology for the support they provided a convicted criminal Kordic, the fence of his crimes and send a message of condolence to families of killed Bosniaks.
Bishop of Sisak, Vlado Kosic, compared Dario Kordic with Jesus!
Another problematic case that proves the support of high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church criminal Kordic is the speech of Mgr.
Government Kosice, Bishop of Sisak who was at the mass held in support of Kordic in Frohnleiten not far from Graz, 29 March 2014th, in the presence of a large number of bishops, priests Herzegovinian Franciscan provincial and other religious men and women, compared with Dario Kordic neither more nor less but with Jesus!
Here are the full citation speech Košice bishop who speaks Dario Kordic: "... But it should be pointed out and saying it means first that we're much beloved, we love you and pray for you; This means that you pray for us and for our homeland, you've lasted so far, carrying the heavy cross imprisoned for so many years, but it finally bit by bit you were coming to the end of the Way of the Cross.
We are looking forward to it and we all pray to the good Lord that you conclude that cross your path and back, and your family, you have full right and you deserve their persistent vertical position before the unjust condemnation of those who do not understand, as we do not understand even our Lord who was first convicted and innocent wore for all of us humans heavy cross, was crucified on it, died, but the third day he rose from the dead! And many of our Croats suffered and suffer injustice and conviction and imprisonment, but - most important is to not let break, to stand up and believe in the victory of truth and eventually the award of justice in favor of our Croatian people ... '
We sincerely hope that the listed cases are exceptions, hoping that these and similar irresponsible actions condemned by the competent authorities in the Catholic Church.
