Retractions you don't expect to see

From today's NY Times on the Pope's trip to Israel:

"...the German pope’s spokesman first said that Benedict “never, never, never” had belonged to the Hitler Youth but later had to issue a retraction."


I'm sure you could have gotten really good odds in Las Vegas years back on "Next Pope would have been in the Hitler Youth at one point". Probably the same odds they would have given you on "Black guy with Arab name and crazy preacher" being the next Preisdent.
