Ratzinger Salute?

As you can see by the above photo, the one on my Ratzinger page was cropped. When I first received the photo from a friend in email, it was never brought to my attention the above photo existed, or the one I received was cropped. However, does it matter? In Scripture we read the following...

• Psalms 28:2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
• 1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

In both the Old and New Testament we see when extending hands in prayer they are to be lifted UP to Heaven. In the above photo the Ratzinger brothers have their palms obviously facing down. Only three places on earth do such a thing in prayer...

The Pagan churches
The Satanic church
The Roman Catholic church

All other Christians raise their hands UP towards Heaven in prayer. Still, the above is obviously NOT a Nazi Salute. However, notice the following pic wherein Ratzinger is in fact saluting Hitler
