Hitler - a hero of the common man first elected by a minority vote of about thirty percent and raised to power through the rage of the people because of how badly their government was damaging their lives - interesting story....

Dietrich von Hildebrand compares Second Vatican Council to The Screwtape Letters. That is pretty awesome:

A vocal critic of the changes in the church brought by the Second Vatican Council, Hildebrand especially resented the new liturgy, saying, "Truly, if one of the devils in C. S. Lewis‍‍ '​‍s The Screwtape Letters had been entrusted with the ruin of the liturgy, he could not have done it better."

“His coreligionists’ indulgent attitude toward Nazism would prove a source of great pain to Von Hildebrand, just as it did to Bonhoeffer. First, Von Hildebrand watched as German Catholics contorted their faith to accord with Nazism—”

Hmmmmm, sounds a lot like the present.

The opening sentence is incorrect. When you look at the present-day evil of abortion, the phenomenon is all too understandable.

In contrast, Bonhoeffer was safe in America but chose to return to be with his people in Germany, and died with them.

There were btw many Christian churchmen who resisted the Nazi hegemony. The Barmen Declaration, written by Karl Barth and promulgated in 1934 was a theological document, the foundation of what came to be known as "the Confessing Church."
