That same year, at age 14, Joseph Ratzinger refused to go to Hitler Youth meetings despite the fact that his whole class had been signed up automatically via compulsory enrollment.

Ohhhhh Reaaaaly?

Of intrest to me in this snippet is the fact that the German side of my family never talked about compulsory enrollment into the Hilter Youth. And my family can cite by name everyone in the town who joined and jsut as importantly who didn't.

Hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm

It is logical . . . given the system and mentality . . . that all locales were the same . . . though I wonder if that was true.

Imagine that. Factual evidence contradicting the monster PR machine working overtime to tidy-up this pope.

Unsuccessfully.

That is most likely because none of your family were enrolled in a Catholic Seminary.
