Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was only a young teenager when he was REQUIRED by law (being a «law - abiding» citizen in America you would understand) to join Hitler's
Youth Group and after turning 18 he was
conscripted (as a patriotic American you can understand young men being drafted) into the German army, which, after a few months he deserted (that alone should make you respect him) and spent a few months as a German POW in an American POW camp.
I do not want to upset anyone's individualized religious theologies and yet I see a faulted system of each religion's societies in generalizations unremarkable yet blatant
conscripts of their elderly influences upon their religiously devoted
youth - fields.
