Did the Pope Benedict XVI help Adolf Hitler back in the day ?

Answer 1

You'll never get a straight answer, so we can only speculate.

In relation to Pope Benedict's Idol and role model, Pope Pius XII, no objective scholar can seriously deny that Pius XII was at least sympathetic to the ideals of the Nazi's and other Catholic mass murderers such as Mussolini and Franco, at worst, had an active hand in their collaboration.

In relation to Hitler, even the Catholic Church cannot deny that Pope Pius was for many years the head of the Catholic Church in Germany and indeed was stationed in Munich, having direct contact with Hitler before becoming Pope. The former housekeeper of Pacelli (Pius) even testified that Hitler religiously attended the Bishops residence on regular visits.

One particular historic event, which cannot be denied even by the most persuasive of Catholic apologists is the event in 1943 of the clearing of the Jewish ghetto of over 1,000 souls next to Vatican City.

So sensitive were the Germans to such a direct "cleansing" right next door to the home of Pope Pius, that the German ambassador is recorded as pleading on behalf of Adolf Hitler for the Pope to make some kind of negative comment- proving he was against the deportation.

It is recorded as the most extraordinary diplomatic gesture of World War II- a free hit, whereby the Pope could have said anything he wanted with full diplomatic knowledge that Hitler himself had permitted a response. Instead, the pontiff said nothing and all but a dozen were murdered.

To this very day 2007, the Vatican refuses to comment on this crime against humanity within the shadow of St Peter.s To this day, no pontiff has ever apologised to the less than 15 survivors, nor even shown the human decency to meet them.

The stock standard answer to such irrefutable proof is to deny- deny it ever happened. In fact some audacious Catholic PR merchants and apologists even dare to publish quotes to various articles claimining the opposite- that incredibly they claim Pius was sympathetic to Jews and against Hitler!

Unfortunately, most good people see these alleged "educated" answers and think they must be true.

Answer 2

Pope Benedict XVI was drafted into the Hitler Youth and the Nazi German Army just like every other non-Jewish German male. He was not given a choice.

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.

Thank God that you and I live in a very different world that the Pope did in 1930s and 1940s Germany. Or do we?

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

How old was Benedict XVI "back in the day"? I think you'll find that he was 18 when Hitler died. That would make him 13 when war broke out, 6 when Hitler came to power.

How much "help" to a genocidal maniac is a 6 year old boy?

Answer 4

No, of course not.

Being part of the Hitler Youth was something most young boys did...it was akin to the boyscouts. You have to realize that at that time Hitler was not the monster we know him to be now.

There is nothing to suggest that Pope Benedict was ever involved with or helpful to, Hitler in any way.

Answer 5

From what I know, the Pope, I don't remember his real name, was forced into the Hitler Youth toward the end of the war at about age 14. I don't think he did any fighting. He claims that he and his family did not approve of the Nazis and spoke of it in the house, but his father was a local police officer. I find it hard to imagine that he could have kept his job and not participate in Nazi activities.

Answer 6

The Pope Benedict XVI served the army as all the young of its age. If it turned into a desert would be died. Thanks to God Hitler this deceased and we do not have to use the memory of deceased to torment the alive people.

Peace and fraternity

Answer 7

The holocaust is a dismal spot of human historic previous, as are many different comparable genocidal practices humankind has performed on its fellow type. the reality that the Pope known it years after each physique else already figured it out is irrelevent. EDIT: no remember if or no longer Hitler exchange right into a Catholic is likewise irrelevent. He might have been improve as one, yet even if he exchange into, he exchange into an evil guy no longer consultant of every person team of folk.

Answer 8

I don't think the pope did. Maybe others in the Vatican did though. Go to google and search on "Illuminati", there is a very interesting video documentary about the Illuminati, which includes ties to Nazi Germany, the Vatican and Soviet Russia among others.

Answer 9

he was only 18 when world war 2 ended, so i seriously doubt he did anything more than the required boy scout parades. And to be fair Catholics did more to save the Jews than most other religions. Maximillan Kobe, the thousands of Jews saved in the Vatican, and the future Pope John Paul II was a member of the Polish resistance movement.

Answer 10

Of course! Here is a photo of "Hitler's Lil' Helper" back when he was Hitler's campaign manager in 1932:
