There are apparently a few prophecies out there that imply that Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) is the next to last pope before the 'final pope'. With this kind of rigid dogmatism mixed with realpolitik, picking up the worst of both worlds, they may be right.
Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors walking around with their numbers still tattooed on their arms to remind us. It's possible that people will forget, especially if the current pope chooses expediency and condones the denial of what happened. Considering the fact that he himself experienced the Holocaust from the other side, you would think he would be able to correct these idiots.
