Memorial mass paid for atheist Tito
Croatian Times
A Catholic priest in Croatia has accepted a bizarre order from a believer on the remote island of Iz.
The man paid for a memorial service mass for late Yugoslav communist leader Tito. More than that he also paid for another mass for Tito's widow Jovanka Broz who is still alive and lives in Belgrade, Serbia.
The believer paid a total of 22 pounds and two masses will be held in Thursday and Friday of this week in a local church on the island of Iz.
"That's a matter for the parish community. There is no need to make a sensation out of it", the parish priest Kreso Cirak commented to tabloid 24 Sata.
Tito was known as a communist and a non-religious person. He ruled in former Yugoslavia from 1945 to his death in 1980.

How do you work that one out? Who else would have got rid of the Nazis?... and didn't he keep the peace for 45 years? Of course, everyone has their faults but it seems to me that now people are rewriting history.

Peter, the communists were as bad or worse than the Nazis. And Tito was a ruthless murderer.. no one is "rewriting" history by stating that.

Well, then, let's hear about what he did. It's strange that, when I first visited Crotaia in 1977, everyone was singing his praises.
