Ratzinger deserted the nazis, so he should be beyond any criticism!

[arcos]

Give me a fucking break.

I couldn't care less whether he joined the nazis, deserted them, or did whatever... That happened 60 years ago and I don't think it is very relevant.

What I can't understand is why some people insist on defending him even though he's a modern day right wing extremist. Opus Dei members like Rick Santorum, all over the planet are rejoicing that finally one of their own is Pope.

Lots of DUers apparently don't care about how conservative he is, the only important thing is to defend him when he is called a Nazi.


Weird. :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

1. Yeah, when they were losing

2. I agree - what is it with this bizarre defense of his Hitler Youth-ism?

He did it. Case closed. Now lets pour over the rest of his record - especially what he might propose to do now.

4. Exactly!

It scares me what he might propose now...

5. enjoy his lack of concern about violence against gays

Gee, this sounds like pure Senator Cornyn talking about the judges.

Sure, violence is wrong, but fags shouldn't be surprised when their own existence invites violence. Spoken like a true former member of the Hitler Youth. Links here and here.

‘It is deplorable that homosexual persons have been and are the object of violent malice in speech or in action. Such treatment deserves condemnation from the church’s pastors wherever it occurs. It reveals a kind of disregard for others which endangers the most fundamental principles of a healthy society. The intrinsic dignity of each person must always be respected in word, in action and in law.

‘But the proper reaction to crimes committed against homosexual persons should not be to claim that the homosexual condition is not disordered. When such a claim is made and when homosexual activity is consequently condoned, or when civil legislation is introduced to protect behavior to which no one has any conceivable right, neither the church nor society at large should be surprised when other distorted notions and practices gain ground, and irrational and violent reactions increase (No. 10).

8. "What is at all costs to be avoided is the unfounded and demeaning assumption that the sexual behavior of homosexual persons is always and totally compulsive and therefore inculpable. What is essential is that the fundamental liberty which characterizes the human person and gives him his dignity be recognized as belonging to the homosexual person as well’ (No. 11).
