Susan Sarandon slammed Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday during an interview at the Bay Street Theatre in the Hamptons, referring to the Catholic Bishop as a “Nazi.”

In a sitdown with actor Bob Balaban, Sarandon discussed her 1995 film Dead Man Walking, based on the anti-death-penalty book by Sister Helen Prejean, and noted that she had sent a copy of the book to Pope John Paul II, Benedict’s predecessor.

“The last [Pope],” she clarified, “not this Nazi one we have now.”
