he IS a former Nazi----forced, sure maybe...but that doesn't take away the fact that he WAS a Nazi and they COULD have chosen another pope.
I don't give a fuck either way, but here's the Times article:
"Unknown to many members of the church, however, Ratzinger's past includes brief membership of the Hitler Youth movement and wartime service with a German army anti-aircraft unit.
...He upset many Jews with a statement in 1987 that Jewish history and scripture reach fulfilment only in Christ - a position denounced by some as "theological anti-Semitism". He made more enemies in 2000, when he signed a document, Dominus Jesus, in which he argued "only in the Catholic Church is there eternal salvation"....
One liberal theologian, when asked what he thought of a Ratzinger papacy, was more direct: "It fills me with horror."
