As a teenager and young man, Joseph Ratzinger (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 member of the Nazi party. 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.

It isn't just this 'pope' who's a Nazi. Roman Catholicism itself was 'Nazi' long before Germany even existed. It comes as no surprise to students of Catholic history that a pope agreed with Hitler to keep quiet about persecution of Jews in return for the German Catholics being left alone. The signed documentary evidence of this pact exists. Hitler persecuted German Protestants, particularly evangelicals, and left Catholics alone. There being very many Catholics in Germany, the Vatican could and should have done much, in word and deed, to prevent the rise of Hitler, but did not do so. There is deeply offensive to even try to deny this, akin to denying the Holocaust itself, which is a criminal offence in some countries.

Every informed Catholic therefore has a share in the blood of 6 million Jews, as well as countless other victims of this criminal cult, especially the poster following. If he's as intelligent and pompous as those specs and expression are intended to make him look, he's going to have a very high temperature eternity.

Before WW2, Catholics had been persecuting Jews and others for a long, long time. In fact it's very likely that Adolf Hitler got some of his ideas from Catholicism.

As Tacitus tells us, the Roman Empire was a police state, the people being controlled by spies and informers, backed by the military, just like Nazi Germany. And the Catholic 'church' was the direct creation of the Roman Empire, totally controlled by it in every detail.

Catholicism was born out of political coercion, oppression, censorship, outrageous interference in people's lives very comparable to that of the Nazis, and theirs went on for _centuries_. That a suspect German Nazi, previously the Catholic 'Head of Gestapo', is now the 'pope' is a comic irony, in a rather sick sort of way. Enjoy it, in a sick sort of way.


Edited due to typical Catholic boorishness.

Right about pompous!

Sieg Heil!

He was and is no Nazi.

BTW, Miller, you aren't a wee bit anti-Catholic, are ye? What you say about Pope Pius has been totally disproven. Read 'The Myth of Hitler's Pope' by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Edit: That's right, Miller lad, when you cannot make a valid point, resort to argumentum ad hominem. And only God, as surely even your version of the bible does say, can condemn anyone to Hell.

Instead of spewing out invective, read the book - or at least about it, if you are open minded enough to do so.

Edit: Mate, if that is the best 'arguement' you can make (childish insults) about what I've written, is pathetic! Read the book and address the points that clearly disprove your anti-Catholic nonsense.

Edit: Voltaire, first of all, is Sinn Féin. Secondly, SF is political. And thirdly, I'm proud to be a member of it, but I've never had anything to do with RA.

Prince Charles for pope or Lord Charles makes know odds.
lets face it, it's as silly as a nazi being pope or a priminister shagging a cabinet minister and having a curry at the same time. Tony Blair would make a good Pope if it wasn't for the fact that he is related to Alf Garnett

I don't think he is very tolerant of others that i am sure of and he was in the hitler youth but he does not seem as right as a nazi so maybe he is reformed, but hey i am protestant lol.

Homeboy was a Hitler's Youth, back in the day...he could still be a Nazi, in theory. Apparently he's "reformed," but who really knows?

He was just a kid at the time. You cannot judge him for trying to survive NAZI fascism.
Would you have done any differently?
