So, we have a new Pope. Pope Benedict XVI.
I thought it was interesting that at one point he was in a Nazi Youth camp in Germany, but he left once he found out their motives. Good thing I would guess. I wouldn't want an ex-Nazi for a Pope. ^_^;;

Yeah, he does. It makes you wonder why there have been so many named Benedict before him.
As for the Nazi thing, I didn't really find it too interesting considering he grew up in WWII Germany. Although I do find it interesting that through all of the adversity he faced growing up and not partaking in the persecution of Jews has led him to the man he is today.
He seems to have strong moral characteristics. He's projected to be a passive pope, but we have yet to see.

I agree, JAG. I was so frustrated when the media was all like, "OMG! HE IZ NAZI!" when that really wasn't the case at all. In fact, I think he showed his moral rectitude by leaving and not being brainwashed like so many German youth were.
The media are just trying to stir controversy wherever they can get it. The sad part is that people are buying into it.
