Therefore, according to the RCC, Hitler remained a Roman Catholic for his entire life. Perhaps that's one reason for the RCC's passivity in the face of his evil. One among many. That "passivity" saved 860,000 Jewish lives.
This was while many Protestant churches in Germany put Mein Kampf on their altars alongside the Bible.
That's not "passivity," it's something quite different.

That "passivity" saved 860,000 Jewish lives. Sorry, Campion. But that is as much a concocted fiction of Rome as is purgatory. (And the number of Jews Rome supposed "saved" seems to grow by the week.)
Read something besides the lies from Catholic apologists.

This was while many Protestant churches in Germany put Mein Kampf on their altars alongside the Bible. This edict was not for "Protestant churches," but for what Hitler envisioned as the "National Reich Church."
Lutheranism, being a state-sponsored religion, was taken over by Hitler, and most dissenting pastors were replaced by men who would not work against the goals of the Third Reich.
The primary difference in all this, Campion, is that we Protestants today denounce all aid and comfort to the enemy while Catholics are still either denying it or defending it.

This was while many Protestant churches in Germany put Mein Kampf on their altars alongside the Bible. Here is some interesting data showing who in Germany supported the Nazis and helped bring them to power:
The black areas are those with the highest concentration
of Catholics according to the 1934 census.
The black areas show the highest concentration of Nazi
votes in the 1932 election (white the lowest). [Note: the
NW portion of Germany consists of pimarily Reformed
believers.]
Here is another presentation of the data:
This map shows how different constituencies in Germany voted in the 1932 Reichstag
elections which brought Hitler to power. Elevation shows the Catholic/Protestant mix
(higher = more Catholics) and colour shows Nazi vote share (more red = higher Nazi
share of the vote). [Note: the NW portion of Germany consists of pimarily Reformed
believers.]
