Our boy Benedict XVI, known as Joseph Ratzinger those days, was six when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor in 1933. While the Roman Catholic Church’s official stance is that little Joesph Ratzinger was not a member of the organization on the basis that he was too young, enrollment became mandatory for Germans of “Aryan descent” age six and above in 1936 (Ratzinger was nine in 1936).

Papal infallibility is very precise - it doesn't mean they are perfect, and nothing they say is wrong. Papal Infallibility refers to when a Pope uses a precise formula when speaking on Faith and Morals, which is universally binding on all Catholics and those in Communion with the Catholic Church. It's only been ever used a few times.

@@contrapunctusrex2499 There are some Catholics who firmly believe in total Papal Infallibility, as has the RCC at various times.

Do “Walt Disney’s Gummi Bears” and please put me in the credits. The Gummi Bears of Gummi Glen are the last of a once great race of Gummis. Regarded by many as a fairytale they are gentle, loveable creatures who want to live in harmony with mankind - but sometimes it's not easy. * A group of reclusive humanoid bears and a few trusted humans explore their lost heritage and prevent their enemies from exploiting it. * Long ago, there was a thriving civilization of small humanoid bears called Gummi Bears. Possessing powerful magic and advanced technology, this race coexisted with humans until the growing rivalry forced the Gummies to flee across the sea, leaving only a small caretaker colony to prepare for a possible return. However, generations passed and the colony forgot their purpose even as human knowledge of the race faded into mere legend. All that changes when the colony meets a boy with a Gummi Bear medallion which unlocks the Great Book of Gummi which reveals lost knowledge of their past. Now the colony has dedicated themselves to the new goal to rediscover their heritage with the help of a few trusted humans while preventing new enemies like Duke Igthorn from exploiting that heritage to their own ends. It is a Medieval Animated Shows set in Medieval Times and animated and televised by Walt Disney. It aired from 1985 to 1991

After watching this, I had to go online to check the story of the Pope who was put on trial after he had died - his corpse was actually dug up and literally put in the dock ..Sure enough... "Stephen VI, the successor of Boniface VI, influenced by Lambert and Agiltrude, sat in judgment of Formosus in 897, in what is known as the Cadaver Synod. The corpse was disinterred, clad in papal vestments, and seated on a throne to face all the charges from John VIII. The verdict was that the deceased had been unworthy of the pontificate. The damnatio memoriae was applied to Formosus, all his measures and acts were annulled, and the orders conferred by him were declared invalid. The papal vestments were torn from his body, the three fingers from his right hand he had used in blessings were cut off, and the corpse was thrown into the Tiber, later to be retrieved by a monk." (Wikipedia) There's even a painting of the scene done in the 1800s.
