Did you know the current Pope Ratzinger, was a Nazi Soldier ?
He soldiered among the Jews who were being forced at gunpoint to incinerate each other. Sounds like the perfect leader for the Church discussed in Revelation.
Comments ?

Yes my son; he was and is still a Nazi.
The young men of Nazi Germany had a choice. This fact surfaced many years before the present pope was ever thought about. The boys raised their right hand in social unison, pledging to follow the Nazi religion of destruction and hate. Catholics can paint the truth with their rhetoric; but the truth is still there.
With real love in Christ, and without Catholic lies.

The Pope is not and never has been a Nazi. He unfortunately was born and grew up in a country ruled by the Nazi party.
Every draftee into the Hitler Youth and the Nazi German Army was not a Nazi.
Just hope and pray that you do not have to make a decision to be executed or live and fight for a government in which you do not believe.
Thank God that you and I live in a very different world that the Pope did in 1930s and 1940s Germany.
With love in Christ.

I was under the impression he was a very young guy and in the Nazi Youth, as was almost universal at the time. I have heard nothing that he was a camp guard or anything like that. The character of the majority of Roman Catholic popes have rarely reflected a life I as a Christian would desire to emulate, but that is just me.

The Pope in Nazi Germany: His Holiness, then Joseph Ratzinger, joined the Hitler adolescents in 1941, yet grew to become into an unenthusiastic member, and did no longer attend any conferences. His father hated the Nazis, and in all possibility raised Joseph and Georg interior an identical way. whilst interior the seminary, he grew to become into drafted into the German military, and wasted no time in leaving. If this guy is a Nazi, then so are the different million adult adult males and boys pressed into service!

Yeah, I think I read something about that. I honestly don't keep up with the Pope to be honest. If he was, he's gonna have to live with that and deal with the consequences. It's not like he was a Nazi because he's Catholic and it doesn't make the Catholic religion horrible or anything.

There were two kinds of Germans in Germany during WW2, those in uniform, those being killed. Membership in the nazi party was not an option if you wanted to stay alive or be employed, that's what made it the sort of tyranny or autocratic state that it was. Here, what party you belong to only dictates if you keep your government job, or if they allow you to build a garage or paint your house the color you want, etc. But there was a college professor in Idaho in the news for endorsing killing reps, probably got a warning letter or something.

Joseph Ratzinger enrolled in the Hitler Youth when he turned 14 because it was the law, not because he wanted to. It's been written that he was "an unenthusiastic member and refused to attend meetings." He was drafted into the German anti-aircraft corps at age 16 and trained in the infantry. It was his duty as a German citizen, not a matter of choice.
If you want to criticize Pope Benedict's policies, that's fair game, but it's unjust to hold him responsible for things that were beyond his control.

He was raised in Germany at the time of world war II so he was forced to be part of Hitler Youth. Kids didn't join because of their political leanings. Later he was drafted to be in the German Army but deserted which was a brave and noble thing to do. He could have been killed for standing up to the Nazis by deserting but you choose to focus on the fact he was drafted in the first place; something completely out of his control.

Yes, I'm aware of that the current Pope was a Hitler Youth.

Please get your facts straight, the current Pope and the Church are NOT the anti-Christ and the Pope was not a nazi soldier when the Holocaust happened, please study the history before making a comment
