| S____M____C____C said: This is ridiculous, as I first suspected. See, I've just started revising for my A-Level History exam, and conveniently, half of it is on Nazi Germany. Factually, the Nazis frequently attacked Roman Catholic Church Property, abused Bishops/Pastors and carried out massive propagand campaigns trying to denoucne the RC Church - especially in the late 30s and in the War years. The Pope condemned the Nazis publically in a letter in 1937 and the Nazis limited and tried to shut down RC educational/activity groups for the young. They really didn't get along. So, maybe the RC Church was pressurised into this for some reason or another. Who knows? But linking the RC Church to the Nazis is not fair whatsoever. |
Well yeah, they were next in line after the jews and consentration camps. General postware documents showed they were basically planning an antipope situation. Well assuming the current pope couldn't be persuaded to replace catholicsim with the "Religion of Germany."
He wanted to transition people away from god and instead into worshiping the state of Germany.
Hitler at his "most free" seemed to be an atheist, while more political seemed to be more of a deist and rarely a christian deist as to appease the majority christian country.
While most high ranking nazis were mystics.
A theistic religion is basically the anti-thesis to facism and dictatorships because it basically underminds the dictators authority since there is always somone "above" he can't pass.
It's why the Church had such issues with Liberation Theology in South America during the Cold War.
