What's "the Big Lie?"
“In all the world, across continents and oceans and nationalities, the RCC could find no man up to the task of being pope other than someone who had been a member of the Hitler Youth and whose father was in the S.S.”
That’s the Big Lie - Ratziger’s father was never a member of the SS, and in fact, was anti-Nazi. As a 14 year-old, Pope Benedict was FORCED to be a member of the Hitler Youth. Your implication was that his family and he were Nazis.
At any rate, it’s a non-issue - if the Holocaust-surviving Chief Rabbi of the Park East Synagogue in New York thinks his youthful association in the Hitler Youth is a non-issue, you should, too, that is unless you need it as a tool to bash Catholics.
So, don’t act too hurt that I responded in kind.
