Don't know what's more wrong, the fact I know what that picture is about .. or that he's stepping down.

[DCL]

he probably got tired of standing up for the institution that promotes pedo f@ggot priests.

[magic chiongson]

Nah, I think he's tired of being an ex-Nazi that stands up for pedophiles.

He never was a Nazi, his family had to move 4 times before the age of 10 because they tried to stay away from the Nazis. He was born in the 20s and at the time he became 17-18 years old it was mandatory for all German to join the military.

What is that picture about?

Looks like he's on the set of 'The Office' or something.

He was certainly a member Hitlerjugend and thus a Nazi. It's true that in those days membership was mandatory for all youth, but still quite a large clique of morally inclined people declined membership. At any rate it's a normal thing for a German his age to have been a Nazi. What makes it foul in this case is that this is the top religious figure in the world, who is constantly passing down moral judgment on humanity. Yet the one time his personal morality was strongly challenged he buckled like a wet noodle and took convenience over his morality.

Of course, the willfull enabling of mass sexual abuse and covering up horrifying criminal activity Ratzinger did is much more damning that his questionable Germanic youth.

He was part of the youth group but that doesn't make him a Nazi just as being in the American army right now doesn't make you a Democrat.

"morally inclined" would you want your parents to be imprisoned, lol keep acting cool and saying you wouldn't join but I know for damn sure that you as a 14 year old wouldn't even open your mouth.

What enabling? has he ever said it's okay to sexually abuse?
