Italian Catholic, Jewish leaders condemn use of Nazi flag at church funeral

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

ROME (Reuters) -Italian Catholic and Jewish leaders on Tuesday condemned as outrageous an episode in which right-wing extremists put a flag with a swastika on a coffin outside a church after a religious funeral and gave Nazi salutes.

Rome's Catholic archdiocese said in a statement that priests at the parish of St. Lucy in a central Rome neighbourhood, including the one who presided at the funeral rite, had no idea of what would happen outside the church on Monday.

Pictures on the internet showed the coffin bearing the body of Alessia Augello, a former member of the right-wing extremist group Forza Nuova, covered by the flag.

The diocese statement called the flag "a horrendous symbol that cannot be reconciled with Christianity" and said the episode was an offensive example of "ideological exploitation" of a religious service.

1. The dead Nazi:

2. Her family and the church officials claim they had no idea this happened

But as you see her coffin exited the church adorned with the flag. This photo was taken at the front door, pausing for photos

3. Since that photo was taken outside the church...

...you have zero grounds for asserting "her coffin exited the church adorned with the flag." It's likely the Nazis put it on after they passed through the church doors.
