Pope to beatify Croatia wartime cardinal Stepinac
In Zagreb Pope John Paul II prepares to beatify Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac, a figure praised by Croats as a martyr and denounced by others as a Nazi collaborator. Stepinac, tried in 1946, died in 1960, while Croatia's post‑communist government later hailed him amid depictions of a divided wartime legacy. Dinko Sakic, Jasenovac camp commander, remains jailed awaiting trial for war crimes.
