[Leica] IMG: Zagreb

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

An impressive looking city, Nathan, and we'll miss your travels showing 
us the world. That said I was surprised to see the panel devoted to 
Stepinac who was lionised over here in Ireland by the Christian Brothers 
who taught me. When I was around 10, he died and was proclaimed as a 
martyr to us gullible innocents and pushed as a future saint. Ireland 
was a different place then and in complete thrall to the church. It was 
only later I discovered his unappealing back story with Pavelic's Ustache.
