Whatever you say Doctor. (BTW, I’m one too.) Compare the faithlessness of the former Lutherans of East Germany with the faith-filled Catholics of Poland. The Lutherans of Germany lost their faith in the face of trials, the opposite happened in Poland. I stand with my German Pope and his statements. Catholicism flourished under the persecutions of the Nazis and then the communists, protestantism failed under 1/2 of the pressure.
By their fruits you shall know them.
Um, do you really want to use that phrase, lifted from the Bible, when the phrase was directed at false teachers, not fellow Christians? Catholics and Protestants have in common that they are faithing in The Lord Jesus Christ revealed in the Bible as Savior. Mormons, not so much.
Well, Roman Catholicism did "flourish" under the Nazis. On that we agree.
Pacelli was no enemy of the National Socialists. In fact, he was instrumental in bringing them to power with his support of the Enabling Act of 1933 and the destruction of the Nazi's only remaining opponent in Germany, the Catholic Center party. Pacelli made a pact with the devil -- leave our parochial schools and churches alone and do whatever you want with the Jews in Europe.
We both know how that turned out.
