Joseph Ratzinger named new pope-- Benedict XVI

One last clarification on the WW2 info. My understanding is that Ratzinger "deserted" after the war into the hands of the Americans. To me, this behavior does not have anything to do with morality. It's simply pragmatism.

I know that there are a lot of Catholics here, and I know that your struggle with your new leader is very different from mine. As an "outsider", I view him as any other newly elected world leader. How he cleaves the Catholic church is not really my concern. I take issue with his worldview - the same way I took issue with Meir Kahane, Louis Farrakhan, and Jimmy Swaggart. **** them all.
