Not any longer. He discovered that Nazism was wrong about the same time as he realised Germany was going to lose the war !

+ Nazi +
As a teenager and young man, 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?
+ Senile +
The Pope seems to be one the most intelligent and alert 80 year old people I have seen.
+ With love in Christ.

I think the Pope is a human being, capable of sin just like everyone else. I don't think he's a Nazi, and even if he was, what would I do about it? I don't think I'd mind unless he started harassing "the inferior races" (as that BS Hitler defined them). You can't undo a person's political ideology. The Pope can't be senile... there are too many smart Catholics to allow that. (Even though there are a fair amount of stupid ones too).

The pope is a figure head or puppet. He is just an ordinary mortal man, nothing more, all men being created equal.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

why are questions like this admitted when a person can't ask something else totally innocent. You have been reported
