It is in most biographies of Ratzinger, and it was on Wikipedia a month ago. It’s still there unless it’s been swept.
Oh, you mean this (from Wikipedia):
In 1936, Joseph Ratzinger, Sr., became a member of the Ordnungspolizei after all the police forces of Nazi Germany were incorporated into a national police force.
The Ordnungspolizei (OrPo) was the name for the uniformed regular German police force that existed in Nazi Germany between the years of 1936 and 1945. After their green uniforms, they were also referred to as Grüne Polizei (green police).”
This was technically the SS, but Ratziger’s branch was only a rural gendarmerie.
Now, when most people read your words that His Holiness’ father was in the SS, they would take that to mean the Waffen-SS, Hitler’s elite stormtroopers. That was your intent, wasn’t it?
In fact, the elder Ratziger was a provincial police officer before the Nazis, and after his town’s police department was taken over, he continued to be a provincial police officer.
Come now, Doc, your half-truths are just a clumsy attempt at sophistry designed to undermine the Catholic Church. One might even be tempted to call your attempts to bolster your weak argument jesuitical, were it not for the fact that the Jesuits train their students to use language much more precisely and to craft their arguments far more cleverly than you do.
Give up, Doc, just accept that Pope Benedict XVI is a holy man, a learned theologian, the historical successor to Saint Peter, the Vicar of Christ on Earth.
