[Resist!ca]

The Sunday Times - World - April 17, 2005 "Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, whose strong defence of Catholic orthodoxy has earned him a variety of sobriquets -- including 'the enforcer', 'the panzer cardinal' and 'God's rottweiler' -- is expected to poll around 40 votes in the first ballot as conservatives rally behind him. Unknown to many members of the church, however, Ratzinger's past includes brief membership of the Hitler Youth movement and wartime service with a German army anti- aircraft unit."
