Catholics are up in arms about the comments made by Bill Maher, a television talk show host on HBO. Mr. Maher made comments about the Pope being a youth Nazi, as well as the Catholic church being compared to the Texas cult in the light of child molestation. They have put a petition up to have Bill Maher fired, claiming that he lies, the only problem being is that they are either flat out lying themselves or just haven't done any research on the subject.

    It is not arguable, but admitted, that Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope Benedict XVI, was a member of the Nazi youth. What is arguable is whether or not he was a willing participant, or should have resisted joining at the possible expense of life. On this, I cannot argue, most people would probably join. However, Mr. Maher did not comment on whether or not he wanted t be in it, simply that he was a member. Bill Maher spun that to make a joke, the Catholics over at the American Life League, a large Catholic based organization, have spun it to make a point to get Mr. Maher fired.
