I'm not saying the dude is a Nazi.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't know enough about Cardinal Ratzinger to say he's anything other than an enforcer of the anti-choice, anti-gay doctrine I've come to expect. But I think that, regardless of outcome, and regardless of whether Ratzinger was "forced into" the Hitler youth and did indeed desert the German army out of protest, electing a former Hitler Youth and WWW II German soldier to be Pope would be a disaster. What would that do to the Jewish folks (being a convert therefrom myself...), or to the Islamic world?

Funny this world wide web thing started on a german newspaper ended via five links and Technorati on your website and had the feeling that I should give you all the knowledge about Ratzinger I just read ;)
You shouldn't really trust any media report about him, I don't know if you will trust a website that calls itself Ratzingerfanclub but at least their biographical data ist fine http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/Biography.html
Hey, thanks for that!
I realize my initial post was a little over the top. I appreciate your taking the time to send me some biographical info about the man, even if it's from his "fan club." I notice they skipped the whole Hitler Youth thing, though. Hmmm.
