"Every Girl is Ours," meaning all girls and boys belonged to Nazi Germany. Starting in 1926, Hitler Youth was a evening program for young people 10-18. In 1941 membership was required by law. There were athletic requirements (running, sit-ups, swimming, diving off a board for courage), songs, lots of Sieg Heil's. Some teachers complained that students were sleepy during the day because of evening Hilter Youth meetings. Our new Pope Joseph Ratzinger was a member of Hitler Youth. He also served in the army, manning an anti-aircraft site near a factory. Also manning the site were slaves from a nearby concentration camp. He is the best Cardinal for Pope? They didn't have anyone else? I read that he thinks only Roman Catholic Christians go to heaven - and that Jews can only be saved through Christ (I guess by converting to Roman Catholicism). The modern Catholic church dates from the 13th century when Thomas Aquinas applied Aristotlian philosophy to the church's doctrines. I think the church is trapped in the 13th century (come on, Nuns? How medieval can you get?)

I was hoping that they would pick an African Pope or something different than the traditional conservative creepy looking guy. To be fair though his pretty old so maybe they will have to pick a new pope again soon.
