The Catholics didn’t attack the Nazis during WWII, why should they now? They were neutral during that war. On the other hand, they promoted Mussolini, Franco and Peron and declared fascism most consistent with Catholic social teaching. Over time, the Catholics evolved (maybe out of embarrassment). By the time of John XXIII, the Catholics were o.k. with democracy. By the time of John Paul II, they were o.k. with liberal, democratic capitalism (provided there was a “preferential option” for the poor). With Benedict XVI it was, maybe, back to neutrality. I think a better way to put it, there was a re-emphasis of the primary teaching of the church on faith and morality, and a de-emphasis of social teaching. Now, under Francis, it’s progressive socialism and expressing disdain for capitalism and for the United States in particular. At some point, people are going to recognize that the head of the Catholic Church doesn’t speak for God but for himself and, possibly, whatever is the consensus of the moment of the elite of that church.
Wow, what have you been reading?
Facts are your friends and they guard against ill-informed statements.
From the link in Post #14:
The third plot again involved German Jesuits and also German military colonel Claus von Stauffenberg. Although the colonel successfully planted a bomb near the Nazi dictator, it failed to kill Hitler. The priests had to flee after the failed attempt. Those unable to escape were executed.
