Satan, eh?

“Meanwhile, although the Protestant Churches, being local congregations, remained unaffected by restriction on foreign support. Hitler’s government negotiated other agreements with them which in essence put Nazi officials, most of whom were Catholics, into positions of influence or outright authority over Protestant Churches.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichskonkordat

Its like you have little grasp of what happened between European states and churches from 1789 on. Do you not realize that there were millions of Catholics under Nazi rule? You seem to think it would have been better for the Vatican to let them dangle at the end of the rope rather than fight to protect their rights.

What about:

"Only the Catholic Church protested against the Hitlerian onslaught on liberty. Up till then I had not been interested in the Church, but today I feel a great admiration for the Church, which alone has had the courage to struggle for spiritual truth and moral liberty." - Albert Einstein

How Pius XII Protected Jews presents a good opposing view and includes the Einstein quote.
