I don't want the haters to ruin this thread. These people are here for one reason only--to disrupt.

And when they get people to have conversations like the one you and I are having right now, they succeed.

...for people to call him a "Nazi" because he was conscripted into the German Army for a brief period is really going too far.

I agree. His family opposed the Nazis & actually moved to avoid them. There were 100s forced into the German military at that time. It was join or die.

Funny how "nazi-ism" becomes a huge issue, but Robert Byrd's KKK membership as an adult is passed over by the same bunch.

Who honestly gives a rat's anything what they think? Why does everyone get so worked up over them? There will always be fringe groups. They aren't going anywhere.

"Hopefully very soon, Pope John Paul II will be named Saint John Paul II, the Great."

Yes, amdgmary. To me, he already is.

By choosing Benedict, does that imply he is partial to the Benedictine order?

One of the best priests I've ever known was OSB

No, believe what you will but don't come onto a thread you know full well is being read primarily by Catholics and insult us. That is simply rude. Do you do this to people in person as well or do your manners escape you only when you are on the web?

BTW, the Catholic Church never tells anyone how or when they can talk to the Lord.

Your hate for the Church seems born in ignorance. Explore the beauty of our faith you may find you like it when you find out what we really believe.

"You'll have to remember that this is an old man. He is 78, so this won't be a long papacy."

It will be long enough to drive the liberals up a wall

It's a Grand Day :0)

Who the hell ARE these people?

They probably crash weddings, get drunk and start telling everyone what the bride did on Spring Break ten years ago.

I'm less than a mile from my parish and I cannot hear bells. :(

Pope Benedict XVI is the sixth Pope of my lifetime.
I was born under the Papacy of Pius XII... albeit near the end. :)
