i came across this and it made me so i just had to post it here.
deep said:a pope that was a member of the hitler youth?
Originally posted by verte76 2)will they pick another relatively young pope who will have a long reign or will they pick an elderly "caretaker" pope? We've had an old, sick pope for awhile now. Do they want more of that? Besides which, they'd better be careful about their choices. The last time they elected a "caretaker pope", Pope John XXIII, they got Vatican II. The cardinals don't always get what they want.
Ft. Worth Frog said:From what I have read his stint in the Hitler Youth was hardly enjoyable. According to the Times Online, he joined when he was fourteen right after membership was made mandatory. He was then enrolled in an AA unit at a BMW plant then was sentto Hungary where he deserted in 1944 at the age of 17.
Since I am not Catholic, this really does not matter to me, but to make him out to be a jackbooted, goosestepping Nazi seems a little out of touch with reality.

Ft. Worth Frog said:Can anyone join Opus Dei? How does it work? Like the freemasons with more mysticism?
