Ah, if only the Protestants in Germany had resisted voting for the Nazis..
"Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitlers campaign for suppressing truth. The Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom."
-Albert Einstein in Time magazine, December 23, 1940"The voice of Pius XII is a lonely voice in the silence and darkness enveloping Europe this Christmas... he is about the only ruler left on the Continent of Europe who dares to raise his voice at all... the Pope put himself squarely against Hitlerism... he left no doubt that the Nazi aims are also irreconcilable with his own conception of a Christian peace."
-The New York Times Editorial, December 25, 1941"This Christmas more than ever he is a lonely voice crying out of the silence of a continent... Pope Pius expresses as passionately as any leader on our side the war aims of the struggle for freedom when he says that those who aim at building a new world must fight for free choice of government and religious order. They must refuse that the state should make of individuals a herd of whom the state disposes as if they were lifeless things."
-The New York Times Editorial, December 25, 1942
