That’s absolutely untrue. I know a few older Jews who were born in Weimar Germany. They jumped ship, and ended up here. The holy father went along, and got along.
Sure. It’s a big conspiracy between me, MSNBC, and The Times (along with dozens and dozens of other journalists). The tinfoil hat comment is rather appropriate. LOL!
Prove it.
You have produced no evidence that shows that the Ratzingers were supporters of the Nazi regime.
No reputable or respected scholar of history or theology accepts the “Jesus did not exist” theory. That’s the fact, Jack.
Wow! I just got excommunicated from the LDS church by an internet Catholic! I’m sure my bishop will be amused.
Monson assured Hoenecker that if the LDS church were allowed to build the Freiburg temple, the brethren would stop asking for travel permission for the Saints to go to places in the decadent west like Switzerland. He also assured Comrade Hoenecker that LDS people are naturally obedient and conditioned from an early age to follow orders, however ridiculous (something that is sadly true, I must admit). He also assured Hoenecker that the LDS church was committed to supporting the Communist authorities.
i am quite familiar with steve bensons writings. I find his perspective very interesting and I agree with him on some points but I think both of you exaggerate the significance of this “relationship” between monson and honecker. I see it as a one shot deal where monson was being a typical LDS salesman trying to get a dealership (I mean temple
) built.I’m sure part of my dislike is due to perspective. I grew up listening to this guy, Monson, and he certainly does put on a great show of being quite the principled humanitarian. I also grew up in the Reagan years. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around without getting a rotten taste in my mouth. At the same time, I can see the pragmatic argument you’re making.i am quite familiar with steve bensons writings.

well I am a big Reagan fan and I was living in Germany when the wall came down so I can understand that. I also spent many years hearing all the little Tommy and the pigeons stories. Still though I like to try and keep things in perspective.
well unless he’s a sedevacantist (which is a heretic like FLDS are to mormons) he would probably not see doctrine changed just practice.
Wow! No kidding.
AFAIK, the TCs don’t have any beef with doctrine; they are hung up about some current disciplines (practices) such as mass in the vernacular instead of Latin, not kneeling for communion, and stuff like that. They also don’t seem to like any ecumenical activities.
Thanks for the clarification.
uuuuuh My english is okay I guess. although I have a noticeable TEXAS accent.
Hi, Kids. Original Poster here. This thread was supposed to be about Mormonism, not whether or not the Pope is a Nazi. If you want to talk about that, start your own darn thread. Otherwise get back on topic or get off my thread!
