I guess you missed the part in history where the Catholic Church was aiding and abetting Hitler in his genocide of the Jewish people, huh?

Well, Hitler/Nazis certainly disliked some Christians.
Sorry I can't give a citation, but I think I recall hearing that the largest
single gravesite of Catholic priests is at one of the concentration camps.

And Hitler and Co. certainly didn't like the Christian theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (sp?).

The Catholkic Church did no such thing.
The Church saved well over 500,000 Jews.
More Jews were hidden by the Church in Rome than were taken in by the US from 1935-1945.

Seeing how a number of Jews (including people of partial Jewish heritage)
served in the German military in WWII, it's not suprising that some Germans
(and add in Austrians, Norwegians, etc.) of almost any faith might have been willing
participants in the maelstrom.
(The uncovering of the Jews participating in the German military was on NBC DateLine
earlier this year, IIRC. The young collegian who pursued the project had been
told by his professors that he'd not find anything...so much for professors knowing everything...)

Anyway, the plans of the Nazis to go after Jews AND Christian groups is getting
aired by The Nuremberg Project.
There's an article about it at:

I think the actual scholarly reviews are being published by some law school
journal at Rutgers University...probably easily found via google.com.
