If I were craptolic, I'd be real proud that a former member of Hitler Youth
is now the leader of my religion.

A man who swore his allegiance to Hitler! The voice of god on
earth now comes from the mouth of a Hitler Youth!

Interestingly, a quick search on Wikipedia shows that the last few
popes to be called Benedict were known as fairly reformist. I wonder
if that's the signal Ratzinger is trying to send with his choice of

Cardinal Ratzinger was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, aka the Inquisition. He played a significant role in the suppression
of Liberation Theology and the silencing of theologian Hans Kung. Many
American Catholics have written off the Vatican as hopelessly out of touch,
and I don't think they see this election as any kind of encouraging sign.
Oh yes, and Cardinal Ratzinger is a big fat idiot, and you're a mindless
tool, IBen.

Don't be silly; those people never learn. I remember the first (in my

A christian is an evil person who wants to impose his own will

It is when you are sorry for something. For example, if the

pope.

About the same as all other myths and fairy tales.
Today the catholic church proved it was not based on
divinely-inspired teachings. If it were, it could not be so
corrupt as to elect a Nazi to be the voice of god on earth.

Though he may be next in line for St Peter's throne, Joe Ratzinger is no
spring chicken. He was born in Bavaria in 1927 so is only six years younger
than John Paul II. However, he shows few signs of slowing down. He has been
the Vatican's top doctrinal officer since 1981 and is a recondite
intellectual, fluent in four languages. His intellectual searching began as
a seminarian in Nazi Germany where he rounded out the experience with a
brief fling in the Hitler Youth, though he was never a member of the Nazi
Party. He was later conscripted into the German Army from which he
eventually deserted before ending the war as an American POW.

In a recent survey, 50% of Americans throught that GW had been

Referring to Ratzinger as "very gentle" is like calling Hitler a nice guy.

Certainly. BBC News said he was a bit of a liberal when he taught at
university, but changed somewhat after he got caught up in the student

Enjoy wearing your brown shirts and arm bands as members of the RATZI
Party. RATZI will make sure there's a lot of goosestepping at the
Vatican while the Badenweiler March plays in the background.
If Hitler were alive today, he'd be jumping for joy for RATZI's

Those who thought that the Church would suddenly approve abortion & birth
control or that suddenly seminary doors would be thrown wide open for women
if another pope had been elected were dreaming in Technicolor. I don't
really think it's going to affect our lives in North America since our
priests do pretty much what they like and Rome be damned. That's not likely
to change no matter who's pope.

As an atheist I am very pleased they have appointed another arch
conservative as Pope.
If they had elected a more liberal man who might bring the church into
more progressive ways it would make the choice between staying with
the church or abandoning it less clear.
The more reactionary and out of touch with modern thought the church
is, the speedier will be its eventual death.
The last thing I or any other enemy of the church would want is a
church that adapts and changes with the times - such a church would
linger longer and the world suffer longer because of it.
I wish with all my heart and mind for a world free of the church.
I will not live to see it's demise - but I can hope to have the joy of
seeing it move into it's terminal decline.
You may say I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one.
Peace, Mark.

If you believe in "seperation of church and state," then why are you

Because most christian sects want to omit the separation and work openly
towards that goal. They actively work towards passing civil laws that oppose
anything they don't believe in.
History and faith based countries today shows what happens when they gain
power.
In the christian world in Calvin's time you could be an example of the best
christian in the village for your beliefs and burned at the stake for them
one town over.

1. I doubt the original poster is in control of the US Government, or

I was talking about the vatican, which is clearly a theocracy.
That aside, I suggest you read your constitution.

The RCC is over 1 billion strong world wide. No one papacy can bring
it's downfall. This church is and always will be about Christ and his
teachings, not homo priests and lawsuits. The RCC will be just fine .

The church is and has always been about preserving the church.
Christ and His teachings are of secondary concern.

decline & fall. Europeans are ignoring it. N. Amercan Catholics are
moving towards a new Reformation as a reaction to the Hierarchial
pimpery.
Latin Americans are converting to Evangelistic Protestantism.
Our new 78 year old Pope will hasten the decline and fall of the RCC.
Especially as his Nazi youth led him on to be Head of the Inquisition.
Not quite the same as the Borgia popes but just as scandalous to
christians. His views on plastics technology would be a sick joke
except that they condemn millions to a painful death.
Pro-life? He will be castrating altar boys next. That will improve
their asset value to very male-oriented church.

Satan answers prayers as often as a god does.
The difference being that the god *promised* to grant anything asked in his
name and told his followers that if they believed they could move mountains.
Perhaps it was another mistranslations and the movements referred to were
bowel.
Mike Painter
Odd, the ones I worked with today were not all that pleased. The person who
made the announcement said Heil Hitler and they knew immediately he was
talking about a new pope. Neither their reactions, nor their comments
indicated any particular happiness.
Mike Painter
In particular find out why the Vatican is such a small city state today and
what happened in 1800's when the pope started another inquisition.
The history of the RCC.
When the majority of the world favored slavery they supported it and did not
renounce it until after the majority rejected it.
The same can be said about any major change in the church. It was not until
grass roots movements became mainstream that they changed.

Oddly enough, I always thought of the red-robed guards from Episode 6
as Cardinals even when it first came out. Heck, even Luke was dressed
up in what for all intents and purposes was a priest's collar, for
cryin' out loud!

You mean Pope Palpatine I?
Have you noticed the similarity between Cardinal Natzinger and Chancellor
Palpatine in both his looks and the things he says?

He is using the Church's punblic behavior to judge by.
That's all the reference he needs.
However, I do not think that Ratzinger ever was a Nazi.
*But*, his attitudes towards Jews/Judaism leave a *lot* to be desired.

It is a long-standing tradition (by now, anyway) for a pope to pick a
"regnal" name, as it were, with a meaning-by-reference to the life of the
person with the same name.
