Kinder, Gentler Vatican?

My buddy Peter writes:

So, in an effort to reach out to new constituencies and bridge the growing divide between Catholic fundametalists and everyone else, the Vatican cardinals have elected... a hard-liner former Nazi. Nicely done, fellows.

It seems more like they were reaching out to John Stewart, David Letterman and Jay Leno. Anyway, he's an old guy so it looks like we might be do this all over again in the not too distant future.

Ratzinger was forced into the Hitler Youth against his will. The same thing happened to the father of a friend of mine -- the Germans began drafting like crazy once it appeared that they might lose the war.
