They where in the same bed together while the Jews where being murdered.

Like Chamberlain and the British, right? Anyone who attempts to get his rights from a tyrant is somehow implicated in the tyrant's crimes?

Try telling the thousands of priests murdered at Dachau and throughout Poland that they were in the same bed as the Nazis. Try telling it to the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were aided by the Catholic Church, when no one else wanted to lift a finger. try telling it to Pinchas Lapide or Albert Einstein or Golda Meir.

...just as all other laws when properly promulgated bind the people, so concordats, inasmuch as they take on the form of civil laws are binding on the citizens of the country, and particularly the state officials; so much so that any infringement of them is equivalent to a violation of the civil laws.

Yep. So what?

The concordat was signed in 1933 BEFORE any foreign power was in battle mode to oppose the Nazis for atrocities. Prime Minister Chamberlain signed his deal with the Nazis well after this and American bankers were still backing Hitler financially after this as well. On 14 March, 1937 Pope Pius XI published
Mit Brennender Sorge which stated the moral incompatibility of and conflict between Nazi racist ideology and Christianity. It's clear from the text the Pope is aware that the Nazis have violated and broken the concordat and that the Holy See opposes their ideology. Funny the bigots always fail to mention this. [?]

A copy of this is available online at Mit Brennender Sorge : http://www.newadvent.org/docs/pi11mb.htm
