Pope Benedict XVI Visits Synagogue, Warns Of Rising Anti-Semitism And Xenophobia
Pre-Catholic Joseph Ratzinger
Bit of a shocker, this one. Not often do I think: "Way to go, Pope!". Learning the new pope was actually "der pope" scared the living shit out of me. I was thinking Tiger Tanks manned by geriatric priests. Ex-Hitler Jugend Pope. Ex-Wehrmacht Pope. Turns out he's the second pope in history to openly condemn nazi atrocities. Which is nice.
Not so very nice: Pope Pius XII And the Holocaust.
Knew what was happening to the Jews but always kept his trap shut while the shit was going on. Never did the word "Jew" pass his holy lips. Never did the nazi's occupying Rome bother him. May Satan forevermore use his cowardly soul to clean his naughty bits: Pope on a Rope!

Off subject but really nice of you to point that out, nelson442jonathan!
the holocaust being only 60'ish years gone and the papal lifespan expanding almost daily, it's not really a great achievement to be 'the second pope in history to condemn the holocaust'. Being second in anything isn't so great anyhow. I'd like to see the first pope in history to appear on the St-Peter's square balcony stark naked, balancing a big red rubber ball on his nose and tap dancing "smoke gets in your eyes" by way of inauguration. If thàt made the vrt-news, I'd understand.
Still awaiting the first Pope to condemn Zionist Nazism....
