To: Dr. Eckleburg
Somehow there was not one man in all the world to lead the

Roman Catholic church other than a man who had been in the Hitler Youth, whose father was S.S. and retired on time with no repercussions from Nazi authorities, who was a member of a German anti-aircraft unit who shot down Allied planes, who was held as a prisoner of war after he "deserted" along with thousands of German soldiers as the war was ending, and whose brother was involved in a pedophilia scandal of his own.

Invoking Godwin's law, I declare you have lost the argument. Oh, and give a source for your calumny, BTW.

Godwin’s Law can only be invoked if the comparison is to Nazis.

Considering that the involvement of the Ratzinger family with the Nazi’s is a documented historical fact instead of just an accusation or comparison, your attempt to invoke Godwin’s Law fails.

That said, I do not consider what one does as a teenager to be of much consequence myself. People often change as they mature and what they do as a teen does not set their personality or character in stone.

It’s what he does and says now that concerns me more.
