But mostly I it's because of the signal value in selecting a former nazi, for precisely that job, that bothers me.

Fair enough. It is clear we have fundamentally different ideas about the eligibility for the Papacy. Also, it seems to me that we have different cultural experiences/views on the Nazis as well (I'm guessing you're European; I'm not). Maybe we should just agree to disagree on the matter.

I agree 🙂

It don't hold against 219 year-old fossil his actions as a 14-year-old. Ironically, God does.

As long as the pope has no noticeable effect on my life or on the lives of those that I care about, I couldn't care less who they elect. It would be nice if he/she were sensible, but even if its Jeffrey Dommer or Michael Jackson, who really cares?
