58. Problem with a Pope who grew up in an anti-Nazi household?
As recognized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center? The family had to move a number of times because of his father's criticism of the Nazis. Yes, he was conscripted into the Hitler Youth and into an anti-aircraft unit from seminary. He never joined the Nazi Party, however, and biographers have found no reason to suspect that he sympathized in any way with the Nazis.

There is much to criticize this Pope about. There are many things and many fronts on which he must be confronted. This is a distraction from the real issues at hand. The issues that can and will affect the world today.
