STORYLINE
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other leaders attended a Mass in Berlin to mark the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday.
Bavarian Prime Minister, Horst Seehofer, and Parliament President, Norber Lammert, joined Merkel as part of the congregation gathered in St Hedwig's Cathedral, Berlin, for the service marking the end of their fellow German's papacy.
In the Vatican, the pope's journey into retirement began with an emotional send-off, with Swiss Guards in full regalia and prelates kneeling to kiss Benedict's papal ring one last time.
Benedict's closest aide wept by his side as they took their final walk down the marbled halls of the Apostolic Palace.
Meanwhile, the former Pope's brother Georg Ratzinger attended a special Mass in his hometown of Regensburg.
As he arrived Ratzinger spoke of his emotions on the evening of his brother's retirement.
Sure there is a feeling of melancholy, a period in the life is over but it is realism. A decision has been made and now we see the execution of that decision, he said.
When asked if it was also a bit of a relief for him personally, he replied, In a certain way, yes it is.
Benedict XVI became the first pope in 600 years to resign Thursday, ending an eight-year pontificate shaped by struggles to move the church past sex abuse scandals and to reawaken Christianity in an indifferent world.
As bells tolled, the Swiss Guards standing at attention in Castel Gandolfo shut the doors of the palazzo shortly after 8 pm on Thursday (1900 GMT), symbolically closing out a papacy whose legacy will be most marked by the way it ended - a resignation instead of a death.

Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church Part 2
Once in a while I get some religious fundie that keeps saying over and over that Hitler was an Atheist. I've done the research. Read Mein Kampf people. He was a Catholic and Germany was Catholic and Lutheran. Get over it. If you disagree with this, then you are admitting your religion is wrong. I am not going to argue about it anymore. Those who still think they can argue about it will be redirected to this video.
We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheist movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.
Adolf Hitler ,Berlin, October 24, 1933

Germany: 'Fake Bishop': Media created crazy story
Dubbed the 'fake bishop', Ralph Napierski has hit headlines around the world for his supposedly top-secret papal conclave visit on March 4 that he was not invited to. The Berlin-based German has been accused of lying about his identity and his status as a bishop. But in an exclusive interview with Ruptly, Napierski says he had a meeting at the Vatican with a representative head of the Congregation of Faith. He says: [The] media did create a crazy story about this ... that I did sneak into a conclave, told a speech, was arrested or kicked out -- nothing of this ever happened.
Photographs circulating on the internet, including Napierski's website, show the branded 'fake Bishop' wearing a priest collar standing next to sex-toys at an erotic trade fair in Berlin. On his website Napierski says he has apostolic succession of Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc (1897-1984). His website also states there are many bishops [who] are heretics and spread false teachings. At the foot of his website, Napierski says he has invented a system to enable people to control computers with the power of thoughts. He also says he has been an internet activist and hacker for freedom of information.
While Napierski says in the interview he had meetings at the Vatican as part of his order Corpus Dei, the official statement from the German Bishops' Conference regarding his status as a bishop states: Mr Napierski is known here. He claims to be a Catholic bishop, which we disagree with. He is not in the 'Annuario Pontificio' (Pontifical yearbook) in which all legitimate Catholic bishops are recorded. There we cannot recognise that he is in the union with the Catholic Church. Moreover, we feel his behavior interfering in this form for the preparations of the conclave unacceptable.
GERMANY: POPE JOHN PAUL II TOURS CITY OF BERLIN
German/Nat
Pope John Paul II has toured the German city of Berlin, preaching to tens of thousands in the Olympic stadium which Adolf Hitler built.
He beatified two martyred priests who opposed Nazism and praised Catholics who kept their faith under communism in a divided Europe.
He later took a celebratory walk through the Brandenburg Gate that once symbolized -- along with the Berlin Wall -- communist East Germany's imprisonment of its own people.
Nearly 90-thousand people crammed into the Olympic stadium in Berlin to hear John Paul the Second's sermon.
Preaching in the Olympic stadium, the Pope praised two martyred German priests who opposed Nazism.
But he didn't defend Pope Pius the 12th, who was pontiff when the Nazis were in power.
Pius has been criticized as not doing enough to save European Jews.
Nearly 2-thousand demonstrators staged a protest against the Catholic church's attitude towards gays, lesbians and AIDS.
The Pope blessed the crowd following his sermon.
Tens of thousands of Germans lined Berlin's streets to watch John Paul in his popemobile -- passing along Unter den Linden, the street that had once been a dramatic backdrop for Nazi parades.
The Polish-born Pope, surrounded by bodyguards and German police, strolled with Chancellor Helmut Kohl under the Brandenburg gate.
This for the pontiff marked the highlight of his three-day visit to Germany.
In a brief speech to crowd the Pope remarked on Germany's reunification and attempts to heal old wounds.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
May the lord help you and the German fatherland to complete the work.
SUPER CAPTION: Pope John Paul the Second
The Pope's visit was marred by demonstrations in the streets of Berlin against the John Paul's teachings regarding child birth and homosexuality.
Riot police were quick to block demonstrators to avert any violent confrontations or danger to the pontiff.

Hitler ordered the assassination of Pius XII
The Vatican newspaper LOsservatore Romano has reported that Hitler had intentions to assassinate Pius XII as a revenge against the Italians who arrested his ally Benito Mussolini.
According to the reconstruction of the events, the plot was being planned at the Reichs General Headquarters in Berlin at the end of July 1943.
The Vatican newspaper says Hitler wanted to teach Italy a lesson by deporting or killing the King of Italy and the pope.
But the head of the German intelligence service at the time, admiral Wilhelm Canaris, decided to boycott the operation.
He told an Italian general who spread the word in Rome that the Nazis wanted to kill the pope. After that, the plan was abandoned.
Three years later, admiral Canaris was executed for participating in Operation Walkyria, the failed plot to assassinate Hitler. .

German pope remembers World War II in general audience
On the 70th anniversary of the beginning of World War II, Benedict XVI lamented the human lives lost during the war.
The pope spoke in Polish during the general audience and affirmed that Europe and the World still lack a spirit of unity and encouraged people to stand for peace and forgiveness, elements necessary for building a Europe based on charity.
During the first general audience in Rome after his summer vacation, Benedict remembered Saint Odon, famous for preaching the presence of God in the Eucharist.
B16
Those priests who approach the altar without dignity stain the bread, which is the body of Christ. Only those who are spiritually united to Christ can worthily receive His Eucharistic Body; in any other case, eating His flesh and drinking His blood would not be beneficial, but harmful.
Benedict XVI defended Saint Odons way of life, based on humility, the austerity and detachment from material things and told the faithful not to immitate.

SUMMARY
=======
Popes Pius XI (1922–39) and Pius XII (1939–58) led the Roman Catholic Church through the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. Around a third of Germans were Catholic in the 1930s. The Church in Germany had spoken against the rise of Nazism, but the Catholic aligned Centre Party capitulated in 1933 and was banned. In the various 1933 elections the percentage of Catholics voting for the Nazis party was remarkably lower than the average. Nazi key ideologue Alfred Rosenberg was banned on the index of the Inquisition, presided by later pope Pius XII. Adolf Hitler and several key Nazis had been raised Catholic, but became hostile to the Church in adulthood. While Article 24 of the NSDAP party platform called for conditional toleration of Christian denominations and the 1933 Reichskonkordat treaty with the Vatican purported to guarantee religious freedom for Catholics, the Nazis were essentially hostile to Christianity and the Catholic Church faced persecution in Nazi Germany. Its press, schools and youth organisations were closed, much property confiscated and around one third of its clergy faced reprisals from authorities. Catholic lay leaders were targeted in the Night of the Long Knives purge. The Church hierarchy attempted to co-operate with the new government, but in 1937, the Papal Encyclical Mit brennender Sorge accused the government of fundamental hostility to the church.
Among the most courageous demonstrations of opposition inside Germany were the 1941 sermons of Bishop August von Galen of Münster. Nevertheless, wrote Alan Bullock [n]either the Catholic Church nor the Evangelical Church... as institutions, felt it possible to take up an attitude of open opposition to the regime. In every country under German occupation, priests played a major part in rescuing Jews, but Catholic resistance to mistreatment of Jews in Germany was generally limited to fragmented and largely individual efforts. Mary Fulbrook wrote that when politics encroached on the church, Catholics were prepared to resist, but that the record was otherwise patchy and uneven, and that, with notable exceptions, it seems that, for many Germans, adherence to the Christian faith proved compatible with at least passive acquiescence in, if not active support for, the Nazi dictatorship.Catholics fought on both sides in the Second World War. Hitler's invasion of predominantly Catholic Poland ignited the conflict in 1939. Here, especially in the areas of Poland annexed to the Reich—as in other annexed regions of Slovenia and Austria—Nazi persecution of the church was intense. Many clergy were targeted for extermination. Through his links to the German Resistance, Pope Pius XII warned the Allies of the planned Nazi invasion of the Low Countries in 1940. From that year, the Nazis gathered priest-dissidents in a dedicated clergy barracks at Dachau, where 95 percent of its 2,720 inmates were Catholic (mostly Poles, and 411 Germans) and 1,034 priests died there. Expropriation of church properties surged from 1941.
The Vatican, surrounded by Fascist Italy, was officially neutral during the war, but used diplomacy to aid victims and lobby for peace. Vatican Radio and other media spoke out against atrocities. While Nazi antisemitism embraced modern pseudo-scientific racial principles, ancient antipathies between Christianity and Judaism contributed to European antisemitism. During the Nazi era, the church rescued many thousands of Jews by issuing false documents, lobbying Axis officials, hiding them in monasteries, convents, schools and elsewhere; including in the Vatican and papal residence at Castel Gandolfo. The Pope's role during this period is contested. The Reich Security Main Office called Pius XII a mouthpiece of the Jews. His first encyclical, Summi Pontificatus, called the invasion of Poland an hour of darkness, his 1942 Christmas address denounced race murders and his Mystici corporis Christi encyclical (1943) denounc ...
Bachs Christmas Oratory in the Sistine Chapel
A concert in honor of Pope Benedict XVI was held on the afternoon of Friday, December 4th, in the Sistine Chapel, in the presence of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Horst Koehler.
The initiative was held to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany and the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Augsburg Cathedral Choir and the Residenz Chamber Orchestra of Munich performed the first three cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bachs Christmas Oratorio.
After the concert, the Pope recalled the profound mystery of Christmas, a mystery of communion of love: God, who, for loves sake, approaches us and, as a child, asks us for our love.
