Reply #4: I will accept your technical premise...

that the Pope was not a Nazi, I stand corrected...but the distinction between that and being a member of the Hitler youth is slim at best.

In any case, perhaps, the point of my post was possibly misunderstood. It was not to throw stones at the Pope. I personally think he should get a bye on what happened at that point in his life, there is plenty to talk about with his later actions, both pro and con.

My point was, rather to show the inequity of how different people can be judged and treated differently, even thought their actions were basically similar, and yet the outcomes of peoples judgements and how it affects their lives can be radically different.

Please read the article and research it further if you wish and let me know if you think the guy has gotten a fair shake.
