To the article however, what say you regarding Joseph Ratzinger's membership in the Hitler Youth? Do you feel that youthful membership in the KKK should disqualify you from political office in the US?

That's stupid for so many reasons that I hardly know where to begin. I'll give you the first two:

First, because it's pretty obvious that you have no idea what the Hitler Youth was if you're comparing it to the KKK.

Second, because only someone who knew nothing about Christianity, would ever make that statement. The most important Christian who ever lived was a Jewish persecuter of Christians until he converted.

Converted to what? Paul was a Jew until the day he died. Not just a Jew, but a Temple Jew. Not just a Temple Jew, but an observant Temple Jew.

He would be repulsed by the "church" that declared Jews as "Christ-killers" and has a long sad history of murdering Jews.

As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for G-d's gifts and His call are irrevocable. Romans 11:28-29
