Then you assume wrong. K.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where we differ brother. Regardless, I am glad that we have the Word of God whereby we do NOT have to read between the lines. He does not owe an apology or explanation. He hasn't even stated whether he agrees or disagrees with the quote. Political correctness often leads to compromise and when it comes to the truth, there is no compromise.

He was also forced into military service in 1943, in 1945 at the age of 18 he was drafted into the German army but never fired a shot. He deserted soon afterward and went back to his home. Fortunantly, the Americans occupied his town. To say that Pope Benedict was the previous head of the Inquisition is misleading and shows your bias against the Church. Before being elected as the Pope, Cardinal Ratizinger was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. His job was to make sure Catholic Bishops followed the doctrines of the Church. What is wrong with this? The Catholic Church is one body, not 28,000 splintered groups teaching what ever fits their fancy. You also try to paint this picture that all Popes were horrible people killing innocent people every chance they got, this is nothing more than Jack Chick propaganda. There have been a small number of Popes that have committed crimes against people, but this is a very small number and if often exaggerated like Amor has done above. Your points are well taken regarding Benedict and other Popes...except that I do not belong to a "splinter group that accepts whatever fits my fancy". Those sort of comments are no better than the ones you refer to as biased. Regardless, no one can really believe that Benedict had much choice regarding the Hitler Youth. He was in a bad situation in a bad time. \ Regarding the OP, his comments were historically accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
