Young Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) in Hitler Youth

Already suffering from low attendance, historically low tithing, a lack of interest from youths, the backlash of a scandal where Benedict XVI recently called Mohammad evil, and a child molestation conspiracy that is still fresh in the minds of Americans, launching unbridled attacks against elected officials in the US could be the measure that permanently ostracizes the Holy See from politics in America and lead to the collapse of the institution as a whole in the United States, and the complete removal of any moral power that it once had in the eyes of the public.

Marcelo Ebrard, the Mayor of Mexcio City, who signed into effect the law that kicked off this latest controversy, has a bit of advice for the Pope: “I would simply and very frankly add that we are in the 21st century, and not the 16th century.”

For a former member of Hitler Youth, it should not be difficult for Pope Benedict XVI to understand that as times change, so also changes what is and is not moral; what is and is not socially acceptable… Without caution, he may inflict a wound on the ancient Church that may never be mended. In light of what’s at stake, a debate of whether Hell is or is not a real place seems to be merely semantics.
