I’m not even sure what these loons think the Pope was supposed to do that the US and British military couldn’t do. Launch another Crusade? I think their real complaint is that Hitler didn’t exterminate all the Catholics as well.

First, let me remind you not to make it personal. Second, perhaps the Pope and Catholic church could have resisted like the Protestants?

Got Reichskonkordat?

The concordant was supposed to guarantee the rights of Catholics in Germany. It did not make the Catholics or the Pope subservient to Hitler. Hitler broke the Concordant. It was in no way an alliance.

If you get a chance study the voting demographics for those voting for and against Hitler. The majority of Catholics voted against him.

Oh perhaps you might want to find out about the “German Christian Movement.” Fortunately and to their eternal honor a minority of Protestant pastors formed the Confessing Church to resist and protest the adoption of Nazi ideology by the Protetant German Christian Movement.

Got Reichbishop? Research how much the German Protestant Church enthusiastically supported the 3rd Reich.

Please compare resistance/involvement of Catholics/Protestants, that should be very interesting.
