There is a great deal of evidence to support the contention that the Catholic Church supported the Nazis at various levels:

As I understand it, the German portion of the Catholic Church strongly supported the Nazis, but the Pope and most of the Catholic Church outside of German was quite against them.

So I think you guys are arguing something that is a matter of perspective, and nothing more. It's kind of like how the Catholic Church in America rejects evolution, even though the pope himself says that the overall Catholic Church considers it to be fact.


Would a church that was strongly against Nazism elect a former Hitler Youth to its top position, and as Hitchens says in the video I posted the Vatican was silent during Hitler's final solution.
