German conservatives defend Pope Benedict XVI
Another appropriate response from German Catholics:'All those attacking him now don't want dialogue but rather an intimidated and silenced West!' Pofalla said in a statement.
Benedict's remarks Tuesday on Islam and jihad unleashed rage and calls for an apology across the Muslim world.
However, Pofalla said some comparisons made with the pope could 'in no way be accepted' - an apparent reference to Turkey's ruling party likening the pontiff to Hitler and Mussolini.
'The goal of all discussion is a dialogue among equals. We are ready for that - fundamentalist circles on the Islamic side apparently are not,' he said. A conclusion any disinterested or objective observer can readily see.
Reportedly, Benedict XVI is deeply saddened (and perhaps a bit perplexed) at the reaction to his lecture. All the more reason to preach then! Current events are certainly demonstrating the eloquence of Pope Benedict's claim of a role for reason in faith, and how certain trends in Islam counteract that.

Your comments are WAY out of line!
1) Pope Benedict XVI is not and never was a Nazi!
2) His remarks are in no way "Nazi-like" ... I didn't hear him calling for war, the rounding up of any ethnic group, police state, socialism, or anything even remotely similar. Did you?
3) Your ignorance gleams like the sun as you spout more and more of your liberal non-sense without scholarship. Attack after attack, without substance makes you little more than a clashing symbol ... an obnoxious sound with no other purpose than to be obnoxious.
I'm still waiting to hear from you how one can defy even the most basic tenets of the Catholic faith and still remain Catholic.
Mike: 1) He is
2) They were.
3)Then why did he apologize?
I have little use for snot-nosed trotsky-ites like you.
If you don't have the cajones to back up anything you say, then there's simply no point.
Art: You're probably right. I'm sure his reports to his Lord and Master Satan are just as ambiguous as his statements on these threads.
