So the man in the white dress is on a trip again. This time, he’s touring the Middle East. After his last trip to Africa earlier this year, where he was spreading aids all over the place, I had sincerely expected the Pope to be a little bit more cautious with his behaviour this time. For example… he didn’t find it necessary to take off his shoes while visiting one of the biggest mosques in the Muslim world. Is this due to a lack of respect for Islam? I won’t call myself a big “connaisseur” of the Bible, but I believe that “having respect for the other” is somewhere written in it.

And I am sure that “Thy shall not lie” is also mentioned somewhere in the Bible. So why did the spokesman of the Vatican, Frederico Lombardi, a couple of days ago declare that Pope Benedict XVI “has never, never been a member of the Hitlerjugend”? Although the Pope himself has confirmed his membership of the Hitlerjugend (even in a book) on various occasions in the past. Having been confronted with the real truth, Lombardi had to withdraw his first lie, but stated that the young Joseph Ratzinger had been forced to join the nazi organization. Of course, we already knew that.

I am not complaining about the fact that the Pope has been a member of the Hitlerjugend. It all happened in another era. And if my information is correct, as a result of a special “Hitlerjugend-law” dating somewhere in 1939, every German teenager from seventeen onwards was obliged to join them. And in 1941 membership was obliged for every boy from the age of ten onwards. The Pope was born in 1927, on April 16th. His birthday is the only thing I have in common with him. So he was still a very young man during World War II.

But… change should come to Rome rapidly. The old guys who run the place are making one mistake after the other. In January, Richard Williamson, a bishop who denies the Holocaust, was welcomed back to the church. They promote aids in Africa. They lie to the public. They don’t like gay people.

How many mistakes more are they going to make? I honestly believe the Pope should change his board of advisors rapidly.

And the next message just reached me as well. I would consider this as praying, but it’s only one other difference in point of view that I have with the old guys who run the Vatican.
