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.

The primary difference is that we're standing up for historical accuracy and truth, and you guys are just looking for ammunition to discredit us.

Thank you for admitting that the Protestant church in Germany was heavily co-opted by the state.

Ever heard of Clemens August Graf von Galen? Do you know what he did?
