You recall incorrectly. Karol Wojtlywa, did not serve in the anti-Nazi underground, as you say, though he was an actor in a prohibited troupe which gave solace to the population with plays which were patriotic and inspiring. But he never fought. In any case his role during the war is beside the point. So is his exemplary role as a world statesman. What is at issue is his papacy, which has been a clear failure--unless it had been his intention to expedite the wreckage of the pre-conciliar Church. We do not need a creative pope. We need a man of order and discipline who will protect Sacred Tradition. This he has not done.

This needs some clean-up. You're both right. Yes, he was an actor in a theater group. Yes, he was in the anti-Nazi underground. Undergrounds, in any war (unless you're talking about eco-terrorists), which are more resistance oriented, do not see combat, but do fight in the war.
Please, double check facts.
