Musings on Nazism, God, and the Pope

Thanks for the input and the background. It's good to hear your perspective.

I don't put it past anyone in the human race to do what they need to in order to survive. I don't blame him for not trying harder to stand up against the party. But I really have to agree with Greg. Friends, priests, doctors who faced such a choice and chose to join up? Hey, we're all human. This guy's the pope.

Sure, sure. Augustine was a rabble-rouser and then became a saint. Everyone is human. I wish that the final word on doctrine didn't lay with a human, though. Maybe that's my central concern with the mess?

I actually think my central concern isn't with his time in the German services, though. It's the things he's said recently that are so terribly disconcerting.
