The Concordant was an attempt to create a relationship with the Nazis more or less like the arrangement with the Fascists in Italy. As for destroying the Center Party, that is naive. Hitler would have destroyed it anyway, and in the same way as he destroyed the Communists and socialists. You somehow forget his ruthlessness and —more than that—his effectiveness. He was even able to neutralize the only power in Germany that could have brought him down, which was the Wehrmacht. If Pacelli underestimated Hitler’s will to power, he was a member of a large company. The Western Powers, Stalin and even Mussolini, not to speak of Jewish leadership. All paid the price. One of the few to foil Hitler’s designs was Franco. Franco played his cards right, his ace being Gibraltar.

That's what I have been saying and for having the nerve to say such a thing I guess I am a "Catholic Basher-Hater", and worse.

Don't you know this saintly man was perfect in every way and made no mistakes in his actions as a political representative of the Vatican and as the Pope?
