The reason my ancestors came to this country from Poznan.

When Germany was united under, he and his allies was concerned that predominantly Catholic regions like Bavaria would feel a stronger affinity and sense of solidarity with non-German Catholics than for German Protestants in Prussia. Kulturkampf was the program instituted to create national unity.

His concerns were mostly unfounded, since if anything the south German Catholics were even stronger supporters of unification and nationhood than their northern countrymen.

In contrast, modern multiculturalism is creating situations where you have entire sections of the population, both in European countries and the US, whose principal identity and loyalty is with other countries, cultures and religions.

Strangely enough, this strengthen Catholicism in Poland and in Germany. And it weakened Protestantism to such an extent that the Nazis were able to try and create a “Nazi Christianity”
