Having heard the stories of the atrocities my In-Laws experienced and seen how it shaped their own attitudes and philosophies I find it inexcusable that Ratzinger, having had similar experiences, still has an attitude of extreme intolerance. One would think that firsthand experience of the horrors caused by intolerance would make a person see that acceptance and tolerance of other cultures, religions, beliefs, and physical attributes is supremely valuable and essential in preventing a repeat of former world atrocities. That he is now the Pope is incredibly frightening.
