The Pope came to my home town, so I wrote him a welcome letter.

Lyrics:

Dear Joseph Alois Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop of Rome, Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City and formerly Archbishop of Munich and Freising, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and Dean of the College of Cardinals,

I'm not a Catholic, but I'm a chap that thinks some of your actions stink and want to ask some things. Will Mr Ratzinger listen to a rap singer? Maybe - in the past he listened to that chap Hitler. Sorry, I couldn't resist, back to business; back in the habit like Lauryn Hill in Sister Act is. Did you ever see that flick? It's fantastic. I can lend you the VHS if you fancy it.

Damn, I'm rambling. Damn I didn't mean to say "damn". Damn, I just said "damn" again. I'm a bit anxious I'll be tagged as discriminatory, similarly to your religion's history. I know what it's like to have a stigma stick to you, you were in the Hitler Youth, I was in the local Scout troop - 'til the parents found out that Baloo liked bare Cubs a little bit more than he should do.

And that's what I'd like to discuss with you, the sick stuff some kiddy fiddlers are into. It's like sometimes you're less inclined to find the truth than to hide the abuse under your roof. You're quick to stick it in when other people sin so why are you so unwilling to take this one on the chin? You might think that it isn't my business, but you're into forgiveness, so forgive this:

Your hollow apology bothered me horribly, it'd probably be better if you'd not said a fucking thing. My God, I just swore at the Pope, I'm so sorry, honestly. Now that's an apology. Not just promising to modify your policy moderately to smother the controversy you've often seen. It's sick, depraved system failure, it isn't just as if it's "misbehaviour".

You find out you're hiring a kiddie rapist and you don't even make a criminal complaint, it's insane. If this was any other organisation you'd be taken straight down the station to make a statement. Now not all papists are rapists, and the clergy isn't permanently pervy but face it: there's a disproportionate amount of cases; it's almost as if they happen on a daily basis. You're the Holy See's head of state and loads of people want to see your head on a plate. Now I won't go that far, but it's fair to say that from this day, things better change.

Jesus preached: love one another, but it seems some priests just want to bugger. Jesus preached: love one another, but it seems some priests just want to bugger.

Some priests just want to bugger. Some priests just want to bugger.

@Adza2007 1) Fact: Catholic Clerical Sex Abuse has been ongoing for over 1000 years with the full knowledge of Vatican officials; & has been cited as a crime in Canon Law for as long.

2) Ratz joined the HitlerJugend willingly, by his own words

3) His family was well known in his town as being pro-Nazi

4) His dad worked for the SS

5) Ratz guarded slave laborers at Dachau, deported Hungarian Jews to death camps, & was a guard in the Dachau subcamp in Trauenstein.

The Pope has quite the collection of titles... Also, the 'not all papists are rapists' line is genius, and I love this song/letter all the more for it.

[19lfm12]

@MikeDaner2630 In reality....it was Catholics - the Knights Templar - who invented modern systems of banking, credit, etc. The 'blame it on the Jew' concept was overt racism, intentionally devised to divert attention from this reality & to encourage the laity to hate Jews, for many generations.

That a minority of Jews eventually became involved in banking/lending is irrelevant.

[MikeDaner2630]

@19lfm12 most Nazis WAS/is Christian.

Before WW2 most of the Europe hatred Jews because Jews could lend money and demand interest, which Christians can't. So after WW1, when Germany had to pay war reparations and the inflation made the money worthless, ppl begain to blame the Jews for "stealing" their money through interests.

[19lfm12]

@MikeDaner2630 If you think that God is man-made.....that is your affair. But one may only be 'Christian' if one does & LIVES as Jesus taught. Joining the HJ obviously is immoral. Children know right from wrong by age 6-7; the age of reason, when they become morally culpable for their actions.

Only a minority of Christians were 'Christian' during the Nazi regime. These were those willing to risk prison, torture & death to do what is just.

[MikeDaner2630]

@19lfm12 your "honesty" is what I would call "close minded". It lacks true knowledge of the true event.

and by the way evil is depenting on which side is on and by how much.

and God is man-made

[19lfm12]

@MikeDaner2630 What I wrote is called 'honesty'. Perhaps this is a new concept to you. As I have family members (both Jewish AND Christian) who are in the Holocaust database, I know quite a bit. We also have close friends of the family who fled Germany & its puppet states to evade the HJ, etc. Their escape was aided by the resistance groups.

The true Christians either went to the camps for their Faith, or worked with the underground/resistance efforts.

[MikeDaner2630]

@19lfm12 is it not a little harsh to accuse them for being anti-christians? and i don't think you know to much about "the resistance" of the time periode, but there were only a very little one doing the actually war.

[19lfm12]

@MikeDaner2630 It is quite simple:

Those who were of God refused to join the HJ. They either fled the country or hid, joining the various resistance efforts; bravely risking their lives for moral justice. In other words, they were willing to risk all for God.

Those who served lucifer joined the HJ. They had no faith in God, even if they labelled themselves as 'Catholic' or 'Christian'. They served evil; thus betraying God.

[19lfm12]

@nokshor Ratz has never changed; nor has he ever repented or atoned for his personal & family Nazi past. In his autobiography he specifically states that he WILLINGLY joined the HJ. There is NO excuse for this!

He claims to be of the Catholic Faith? Then he is a liar. As one who has Faith would know that the HJ is evil. Germans knew full well what it was; & he joined it gladly.

He is consumed with evil.

[MikeDaner2630]

@19lfm12 and many more join HJ because of the benefits, the social pressure/standards and, of couse, the goverment
