Actress and social activist Susan Sarandon was reported to have called Pope Benedict a Nazi during a public discussion at a U.S. film festival in New York.
The 65-year-old actress made the comment about Pope Benedict XVI over the weekend during an appearance at the Bay Street Theatre in New York while talking about her 1995 film Dead Man Walking.
She said she had sent a copy of the book it was based on to the Pope but then clarified which one she was talking about.
“The last one, not this Nazi one we have now,” she told interviewer Bob Balaban. When he showed his disapproval of her comments Susan allegedly then repeated the comment drawing laughter from the crowd.
