He upset many Jews with a statement in 1987 that Jewish history and scripture reach fulfilment only in Christ — a position denounced by critics as “theological anti-semitism”. He made more enemies among other religions in 2000, when he signed a document, Dominus Jesus, in which he argued: “Only in the Catholic church is there eternal salvation”.

What arrogance Ratzinger displays. /sarcasm

“theological anti-semitism”

Does anyone else find that term as humorous as I do?

From article: He deserted in April 1944 and spent a few weeks in a prisoner of war camp.

That pretty much sums up his "involvement" as far as I'm concerned. Of course, there is no way to appease those who want to impugn Card Ratzinger and his decades of service to God and man.
