Pope stuff

For all the things one might legitimately hold against Ratzinger, calling him a Nazi is pretty cheap. As I understand it, his involvement with die Hitler Jugend was not voluntary, nor was his military service. He deserted his unit in 1945. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know.

But if I'm not, chill out with the Nazi remarks. Feel free to attack him for any currently espoused beliefs or actions.

I agree. Rip him for his stances as the head of the Inquisition (I can't remember what the Catholics call it now) not fact that he grew up in Germany during a certain time period.
