“What the hell happened to the Catholics. It sounds like the Last Days are upon us.”
*************
The more pertinent question is: “What has been done to the Catholics?”
We have not changed. We have been given a leader like Obama, selected by the freemasons to destroy our institution. As long as we have Jesus Christ in the Eucharist it does not matter what type of martyrdom we have to experience. He did not come down from the Cross because he died for me. Why should we expect anything less?
This was also shocking. Also we got 14 new families, joining our Lutheran church last year, who were previously Catholics. That was because of the priests raping kids. My brother in law totally stopped going to Catholic church or ANY church because of the rapes.
MUNICH, April 20 - The day after Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, some headlines were already drawing attention to a supposedly dark moment in his past, when the first German pope in 482 years was briefly a member of the Hitler Youth.
“White Smoke, Black Past,” was the headline Wednesday in Israel’s Yediot Aharonot. “From Hitler Youth to the Vatican,” was the way The Guardian put it. Even before his election as pope on Tuesday, The London Sunday Times carried an article with the headline, “Papal Hopeful Is a Former Hitler Youth.”
Does Benedict XVI harbor a secret past, which includes sympathy for the Nazis? That would seem to be the question implied by those headlines, which were echoed in many private conversations.
It is well established, and readily acknowledged by the pope in his autobiography, that for a time in 1941 and 1942, Joseph Ratzinger, then a teenager, was in the Nazi Party’s main organization for indoctrinating young people.
