Wasn't it the case that back then, it was mandatory? It's this incident that makes me wonder.

Screw 'em. Religions, all of them, are in business for themselves, as anyone who reads history, ancient and modern, knows.
Why Should I Respect These Oppressive Religions?

Whenever a religious belief is criticised, its adherents say they're victims of 'prejudice'

by Johann Hari

The right to criticise religion is being slowly doused in acid. Across the world, the small, incremental gains made by secularism - giving us the space to doubt and question and make up our own minds - are being beaten back by belligerent demands that we "respect" religion. A historic marker has just been passed, showing how far we have been shoved. The UN rapporteur who is supposed to be the global guardian of free speech has had his job rewritten - to put him on the side of the religious censors.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights stated 60 years ago that "a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief is the highest aspiration of the common people". It was a Magna Carta for mankind - and loathed by every human rights abuser on earth. Today, the Chinese dictatorship calls it "Western", Robert Mugabe calls it "colonialist", and Dick Cheney calls it "outdated". The countries of the world have chronically failed to meet it - but the document has been held up by the United Nations as the ultimate standard against which to check ourselves. Until now.
Damn straight, they're victims of predjudice -- predjudice against mendacity. Hitler, as a confirmed Catholic and one-time alter boy (he used to walk funny back then, you know), was well versed in their dogma and used it, successfully, to his own ends. And the Vatican loved him for it because he followed their own thoughts concerning the Jews, Gypsies, women, homosexuals, cripples -- the Bible has a few terse verses concerning cripples however pious they might be, and so forth.

Yeh, screw 'em all! They are worthy only of conrempt.




"What luck for rulers that men do not think." -- Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945)

"If only we could impeach on the basis of criminal stupidity, 90% of the Rethuglicans and half of the Democrats would be thrown out of office." ~~ P.Z. Myres

It don't think it was mandatory, but it was highly recommended and not doing so automatically marked you as suspicious.
Also, most of the kids wanted to attend, after all, it was like a boy-scout club, and all of their friends were already attending...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

It became officially mandatory in 1936 for kids to join the Hitler-Jungend.

The thing is, those who joined willingly or otherwise -- and there's no real evidence that the future Pope Ratzi joined any way but voluntarily -- the brainwashing was intense and pervasive.

I simply feel that Ratzinger's action in rehabilitating a Holocaust denier (though the guy was excommunicated for being part of a schism, not for his antisemitism) indicates that the Hitler Youth training probably wasn't wasted on him.

His regime did forward a little ball of hate coined by Herbert Spencer called "social Darwinism".

A concept far removed from evolutionary theory and Darwin.

Yeah, the Nazi version might be described as second or third-generation Social Darwinism. And Spencer's Social Darwinism was already "Darwinism" about as much as Christian Science is "science."

No, it's portrayed as false.

It's a cheap shot because it's false.

The necessary precursors to formulate Hitler's ideas predate Darwin by thousands of years. They are so old and so widely accepted that they're written up in Genesis 30:31-43, which describes Jacob performing artificial selection on livestock.

That's because it is a cheap shot, although the phrase usually indicates something far more trivial than this. It is an inaccurate shot, a shot that completely misses the mark, and so deeply dishonest that anyone making this connection can be written off as too big a fool to ever even deal with, much less take seriously.

Stephen Law is currently going through a book Double Cross: the Code of The Catholic Church by David Rana where the history between the Catholic Church and the Nazis is described in more detail.

Among the things Law has found:

The Vatican went to great lengths to save many prominent Nazis including:

Franz Stangl, commander of Treblinka, who killed nine hundred thousand.
Gustav Wagner, deputy commander of Sobibor, who killed a quarter of a million Jews,

and, wait for it...

Adolf Eichmann - architect in chief of the Final Solution.

Yes, Eichmann was shipped off to Argentina by the Vatican.

Ranan says:

The Church did not forsake the Nazis. She may try to maintain that any action undertaken to help them flee justice was carried out by persons acting as individuals representing their own interests. However, the collective magnitude of these actions, the number of people involved, and the resources used in terms of money, properties and personnel, tell a different story.... It was a Church operation.

If true, that's absolutely extraordinary.
