That kind of viewpoint is only supportable by hard evidence. And I have yet to see any.
I still think the article cyborg posted was good, if only to show that it's not an "indisputable fact that Ratzinger was a hard core Nazi, loving every minute of his job" as some on this thread clearly want to imply.
At any rate I'm not going to debate that matter on this thread. This is supposed to be a thread dedicated to the new leader of the Catholic Church. IMO, anyone who comes on here with anti-Catholic screed and conspiracy theories, no matter how "historic" it's (thought) to be, is a tasteless, tactless, jerk.
And I don't care to talk to tasteless, tactless jerks at any time.
Didn't say you were that, btw, so please don't come back and say, "Thanks for calling me a tasteless, tactless jerk, very 'Christian' of you".
Don't worry, not that thin skinned.
I was hoping to point out that Benedict is human. He wasn't a glorious Nazi-fighter, battling the forces of evil in a single bound. Nor was he the devil in the brown suit. He was a boy, a boy who became a priest and now a Pope.
People who argue either extreme are nuts. Okay that wasn't nice, but my mind is going.
