It appears (though I can’t be certain since I’m not a mind reader) that you have not read Ratzinger’s autobiography.

I suggest you do so before you make pronouncements on other people’s veracity (unless you think Ratzinger is a liar.)

I personally believe you are telling the Truth. They were forced to defend the country. If he worked in an anti-aircraft unit it sounds logical.

What is even more bizarre is that Saul the murderer became Paul who wrote scripture that we argue over. Also David The murderous adulterer wrote Psalms that point to Christ. Solomon who had 700(?) wives and concubines wrote Psalms to completion from his father David. Yet here is the current Pope born in a country he did not ask to live in as a citizen yet he tried to defend as forced to defend.

All a madcap bunch of characters who God's uses as instruments of his love. What a amazing forgiving God! Out of personal behavior sitting on face value only, It looks like the Pope did less in his personal life than the rest. LOL!!

Praise Our Lord JESUS Christ for his True love for Humanity! Where would any of us be? Divine Mercy Indeed!
