13. Has he issued any kind of apology or remorse? |

Senator Byrd has often expressed remorse for his early involvement in the KKK, and worked hard to erase that experience with a lengthy legacy of progressive social politics.
So how has Ratzinger dealt with his past? Has he learned anything from his supposedly involuntary servitude in the German military?
He witnessed at least some measure of misery when he was guarding facilities that used forced labor. Has that experience informed any of his views, motivated any of his actions in later life?
If it hasn't, then I really have to wonder just how irrelevant that history may be when the man is chosen to be pope. How much of his conservatism and iron fisted control of church doctrine is rooted in the authoritarian fascism of the Nazi government.
