Susan Sarandon had jaws dropping this weekend when she referred to Pope Benedict XVI as a “Nazi” during an interview, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The 65-year-old Oscar winning actress made an appearance at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York on Saturday and according to Newsday while discussing her 1995 flick Dead Man Walking, she said she sent a copy of the book it was based on to the Pope.

“The last one, not this Nazi one we have now,” she said to fellow actor and interviewer Bob Balaban, who expressed disapproval, only to have Sarandon repeat the comment.
Sarandon isn’t the first celebrity to take a jab at the Pope. In 1992 Sinead O’Connor appeared as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live and while singing about “evil” and “child abuse” she ripped up a photograph of Pope John Paul II saying, “Fight the real enemy.”

@Greeneyez Do you actually know anything about Catholics or Nazis? To compare the two is asinine. Go put your head in the sand, that's all it can be for.

This idiot needs to STFU and move to Cuba. Or perhaps she would prefer Iran or another Muslim country since she said that "Our Arab brothers and sisters are ahead of us" in reference to the Occupiers on Wall Street. Moron!!!

Why do these stars think they are right with their comments and opinions? The smart ones keep their thoughts and mouths shut. That was pretty RUDE to call the Pope that!

S.S. NEEDS TO GET HER FACTS STRAIGHT..There are more people living right around her that actually practice Fascism on a daily basis...Living in a house with many believers and non I know insults are a waste of time.

She sounds ignorant to call him a "Nazi." She clearly does not like him or what he stands for NOW, & is throwing stones at him because of what he went through back then, without KNOWING what was in his heart.

She's not "calling" him out on his "Nazi" past. She's judging him without all the facts. How many people were FORCED to either be part of the Nazi regime or be a victim of it, during that time?

Stupid people. This Pope was a teenager during WWII and during that teen all teen boys in Germany were forced into Nazi Youth groups. And the picture Sinead O'Conner ripped up was a Pope John Paul II not this one.
