The Pope in Rome, one German newspaper wrote, should be condemned for the sole reason that by his positions he has "transgressed against the religion" that today "is valid in this country", namely, the "civil religion".

I hadn't heard the "civil religion" bit before. It seems like the kind of thing you'd find used as a prop in the "Left Behind" series, but there it is in 3-d, proving again that reality is stranger than fiction.

The “civil religion”, completely ignorant and uncivil, attacking what the church allegedly substract from life because it is against abortion and somehow these crosses mean more opression than Islam or the book burning memory hole that German Nazi so famously eulogized in particular against Jewish memory.
