Stop. The Catholic Shurch did not work with Hitler.
What are you doing now to assist in stopping abortion?
I knew Holocaust survivors and I helped them in my capacity. Saw tattoos hand scraped onto people’s arms. Listened to their stories at night when they couldn
t sleep.
BTW Catholic priests and nuns numbered many in the Holocaust. Read Edith Stein’s story as well as Maximillian Kolbe’s.
The study of the Holocaust takes the place plus another six months of slavery study takes the place of an entire year of english study in the 8th grade at my local middle school.
Knowing history of literature is not considered important, when it is everything, in reality. People behave badly throughtout history. Hitler was one of the worst. Stalin gets no attention.
all of this disproportionate attention is given in great part to avoid looking inward.
The United States is currently up to 55 million reported murder of innocents through abortion.
I suggest that if one is not on record as having fought hard against that, they will look pretty bad in the history reports.
The Catholic Church stands frimly against it and IT will still look bad in comparison.
Furture generations will be not disgusted but truly horrified if we are allowed to survive this.
Weelllll technically....the pope signed a treaty early on with Hilter (review link below)

Many Nazi-era buildings have been preserved and are still in use today. Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, for example, was designed by Hitler’s favorite architect, Albert Speer in 1936, and the Nazi’s central bank is now used by the foreign ministry. But the church presents a trickier problem because it clearly shows that churches collaborated with the Nazis more than is commonly acknowledged.
Initially, the Catholic Church cooperated with Hitler after Pope Pius XI signed a treaty with him in 1933. But that collapsed in 1937 when Hitler began putting Catholic clergy on trial after the pontiff issued a statement of concern because of years of Nazi interference.
Meanwhile, Hitler appointed Ludwig Müller as the Reich’s Bishop to lead a movement of Protestant National Socialists called the “German Christians,” also known as the “Storm troopers of Jesus.” Soon after, Hitler tried to force Protestant churches to join the Reich’s Protestant Church, which promoted an “Aryan Jesus” and wanted to replace the bible with “Mein Kampf.”
Neither the Protestant or the Catholic Church officially opposed the Nazi policies towards Jews.
As parishioners were increasingly turning towards National Socialism, some church officials gave in so that they could keep their churches intact and help others such as members of the Confessional Church, organized by dissident Protestant clergy.
“They preached inner resistance and said that was better than being jailed,” said Klein. “Some people were even braver.”
People such as Pastor Max Kurzreiter of the Martin Luther Memorial Church who helped people being persecuted by the Nazis. He married the writer Jochen Klepper and his Jewish wife Johanna in the church in 1938 — something that was illegal at the time. Klepper, his wife and daughter killed themselves in 1942 rather than face deportation.
