Well, they're saying he was drafted, and did everything he could to get out of it, including going AWOL. But given the Catholic Church's record for honesty, I'm taking everything I hear with a grain of salt.
I'm more worried about what he'll do in the future, though. He's got the power, the money, and the will to bring gay rights and safe-sex campaigns to a halt in a lot of country. Even he had a squeaky-clean past, I still wouldn't want him having access to that money and power.
(You know, the organization he used to run? It's called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and it was set up originally to coordinate the activities of the Inquisition all over Europe. He's the world's Chief Inquisitor -- though it's not called that anymore. His job was stop dissent at all costs.)
