Picture at the bottom of the page with Ratzinger doing a blessing with palm down? Hmmmmm. Where is BS? I'm hearing nothing but crickets from Texas. Oh, well.

No, he wasn't. He was an American kid (Black, if you consider that important) who had lived in Indonesia for a few years.

That somehow upsets your sensibilities but calling the pope an overbearing child molesting nazi does not? ...... really?

Show me where anyone here said any of those things about Ratzinger.

Do you understand what a challenge is? That's what my post was: a challenge to you to back up your statement: "..... calling the pope an overbearing child molesting nazi.....".

I deny that anyone called him personally "overbearing" or any other word with similar connotations. Prove me wrong.

I deny that anyone in this thread ever accused Ratzinger himself of being a child molester. Prove me wrong.

Some, myself included, have accused him of covering up cases of child abuse by other priests, insisting that these crimes be "handled" internally. This insistence spared these criminal priests from being prosecuted in the courts and, in most cases, resulted in no more severe "punishment" than being reassigned to another parish without any sort of warning to that new parish regarding the priest's heinous crimes.

I deny that anyone called Ratzinger a Nazi. Prove me wrong.

There was mention made of his having been a member of the Hitler-Jugend. That's an undeniable fact but membership in the Hitler Youth was mandatory at age 14. Ratzinger was automatically enrolled as a result but was never inducted into the Nazi Party, as that wasn't possible until age 18 and he was only 17 when the war ended.

The only problem I ever had with the churches (all of them) they kept telling me I was guilty, but never of what. Then they told me God was a loving father. What sort of father lays a guillt trip on his children. They never tried to resolve that dichotomy so I left. I figure they had the last part right, where they dug up the guilt bit I am damned if I know.

He has been there many times in my life when I needed him, so why do I need a bunch of people getting in between me and Him?

A man once told me;

"Dave, when I accepted Jesus into my life he cleansed me of all of my sins. The drugs, the booze, the prostitutes, the gambling.....man, I was into everything and stealin' to pay for it. But Jesus saved me and he can save you too."

My reply?

"Save me from what, then? I've never had a problem involving any of those things. My saviour was common sense."

He didn't care for that much.

There's plenty of ill will on both the right and the left. I think that if you go looking for conflict, you're going to find it.

BTW, is vial bigotry the kind that you inject?
