Former Hitler Youth and current Roman Catholic Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, has left the Jewish community understandably upset by reconciling with a Catholic traditionalist and Holocaust minimizer. Ratzinger took this disturbing action as part of letting four traditionalist bishops and their followers back into his Church. From Reuters 1/25/09:

One of the four, the British-born Richard Williamson, has made statements denying the full extent of the Nazi Holocaust of European Jews, as accepted by mainstream historians.

In comments to Swedish television broadcast on Wednesday and widely available on the Internet, Williamson said "I believe there were no gas chambers" and only up to 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps, instead of 6 million.

"I believe that the historical evidence is hugely against 6 million having been deliberately gassed in gas chambers as a deliberate policy of Adolf Hitler," he said.

Ratzi has been noted for having a similar face and sinister demeanor to that of Emperor Palpatine of the Star Wars movies. The more you know about Ratzinger, the more sinister he seems in real life.

It's too bad that Ratzinger is so vicious and so dangerous. Otherwise, the cartoonish villainy he exudes would be quite entertaining.
