Germans Protesting Pope Visit

[rikhyray]

Nah but he was part of the hilter youth be it very early and without choice,

???? There is always choice (specially he was a teenager not a child when he joined Hitlerjugend ).... and any time any place is right to remind, reveal inconvenient truth. BTW. Interesting comment of a German journalist when Papa Ratzi was elected and his Nazi past exposed - " I am less worried about Ratzingers past then the future..." and indeed right he was. Actually those church haters should be happy, Ratzi is the worst thing could happen to catholic church, might be final nail into the coffin of this outdated enterprise.

Unless you're North Korean I don't think you can claim you know what it's like to live under Hitler and the Nazis in a fairly choiceless and brainwashed society. It's very easy to sit back and claim you'd risk imprisonment, torture, or death over your personal beliefs and principles when that's not even a slight possibility.

And this being the worst pope :roll: At worst he's kept the same agenda as the previous pope. If he starts launching crusades that kills thousands in it's path on direct orders then my needle might slide from status quo to worst.

I do know what it means to live under totalitarian regime ( worse then Ratzi Natzi Germany), I know what costs to stick to the truth and moral principles no matter what, so do members of my family. Lucky you that you dont have to know any of it first hand, but choice is always there. Ratzinger current views and repeated: anti- Jewish, anti islamic, anti women, anti gay statements indicate he is not far from old Nazi school ideals. His Hitlerjugend teachers did "good job" apparently.

Is the Pope German?

Wasn't he Polish? The more important question is how long does it take to become a deity?

Don't forget now - this pope abolished Purgatory!!

Don't mess with somebody who can nullify an entire dimension!

tank zapping eye beams aren't likely to make him break a sweat
