Over Wheen

Off went Francis Wheen on The News Quiz, about how the Pope was in the Hitler Youth. "It's a wonder he hasn't been invited onto Question Time." Ha Bleedin' Ha. In fact, the Pope's Maths teacher sent him to get the Hitler Youth form, and then just kept it on file for him. "Thus was I able to escape it." In other words, he was never in it. Whatever lie on the matter the BBC may have succeeded in planting in almost every media outlet on earth.

    As a daily Mass goer, I have absolutely no problem that the Holy father was in the Hitler Youth. It was pretty much compulsory. And Jack Straws, John Bercows , Bob Ainsworths, David Camerons, Tony McNultys past..John Reids Commie past (although he does havea Republican present).
    After all until quite recently you were not a Catholic. I dont hold that against you.

    But he was never in it. That is the point.

    Oh he WAS. Lets just accept it. No big deal.
    Only becomes a big deal when anti-Catholics like Wheen point it out and we deny it.
    Wheen hardly photoshopped the photograph of Our Holy Father in uniform.
