And thus a member of the S.S.
He did not retire after the Night of the Long Knives, instead waiting until his regular retirement age. There is no evidence of his being arrested or at odds with S.S. authorities.
Those are the facts. Deal with them.
Come now, Doc, your half-truths are just a clumsy attempt at sophistry designed to undermine the Catholic Church.
The RCC doesn't need me to undermine it. Scripture undermines it. God's word undermines it. The truth of Christ risen undermines it.
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.
LOL. I blush at the comparison, you sweet-talker.
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.
Nope. The false bishop of Rome is a pretender; he is not anyone's father. There is only one Father who is in heaven. There is only one head of God's church on earth, Jesus Christ.
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." -- Matthew 23:9
"By these and similar inventions, Satan has attempted to adulterate and envelop the sacred Supper of Christ as with thick darkness, that its purity might not be preserved in the Church. But the head of this horrid abomination was, when he raised a sign by which it was not only obscured and perverted, but altogether obliterated and abolished, vanished away and disappeared from the memory of man; namely, when, with most pestilential error, he blinded almost the whole world into the belief that the Mass was a sacrifice and oblation for obtaining the remission of sins. I say nothing as to the way in which the sounder schoolmen at first received this dogma. I leave them with their puzzling subtleties which, however they may be defended by cavilling, are to be repudiated by all good men, because all they do is to envelop the brightness of the Supper in great darkness. Bidding adieu to them, therefore, let my readers understand that I am here combating that opinion with which the Roman Antichrist and his prophets have imbued the whole world, viz., that the mass is a work by which the priest who offers Christ, and the others who in the oblation receive him, gain merit with God, or that it is an expiatory victim by which they regain the favour of God. And this is not merely the common opinion of the vulgar, but the very act has been so arranged as to be a kind of propitiation, by which satisfaction is made to God for the living and the dead. This is also expressed by the words employed, and the same thing may be inferred from daily practice. I am aware how deeply this plague has struck its roots; under what a semblance of good it conceals its true character, bearing the name of Christ before it, and making many believe that under the single name of Mass is comprehended the whole sum of faith. But when it shall have been most clearly proved by the word of God, that this mass, however glossed and splendid, offers the greatest insult to Christ, suppresses and buries his cross, consigns his death to oblivion, takes away the benefit which it was designed to convey, enervates and dissipates the sacrament, by which the remembrance of his death was retained, will its roots be so deep that this most powerful axe, the word of God, will not cut it down and destroy it? Will any semblance be so specious that this light will not expose the lurking evil?" -- John Calvin "And he (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." -- Colossians 1:18
