Actually, it was the Catholic Church that suffered more under Hitler as it was then, as of now, only about 30% of the country. The leading critic of the Nazis was Bishop Galen. Here is an article by Chuck Colson, who is not a Catholic, which was linked to a Catholic Site that I frequent.

And for the record, the UK. Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Denmark, most of Germany, Switzerland all went Protestant in the 16th century in case you missed that during Western Civilization classes in College.

Correct. Many priests and lay-members were martyred. Now the Seventhday Adventist Church quickly expelled it's member who had previously been Jews.

If think this is joke, plug in "Adventists Nazi era" in to any search engine. It will break your heart.

I’m pretty sure that World Civ isn’t taught until 9th grade...I’m not sure what 5th grade is taught.

I am not discounting that the Catholic Church suffered under Hitler.

I said one of the FIRST things Hitler did was gather up all the Protestant Pastor and shoot the ones that would not go along with him . Did you know the state took over those churches because and they refused over 700 pastors to take up collections for their own churches. If you take away the pastor the sheep perish.

Let’s think about this a minute and put this into perspective and imagine that our current resident passes a law to control what the Roman Catholic Church in this country can and can not preach along with replacing the priest with the ones he wants . Imagine that Pelosi is now in charge of what can and can not be said in your church ? Do you think they will suddenly be changing what they preach about say abortion?

Oh and BTW Bavaria’s Roman Catholics largely voted for Hitler to begin with . Many in hopes of making Germany Catholic. Just like Roman Catholics largely went along with Castro when he took over Cuba who by the way was also raised and educated by Jesuits just like Hitler.
I’d say the Roman Catholic Church in Cuba has also suffered but it doesn’t change the fact that at first they welcomed him too. And just like Hitler he raised a generation of pagans to remain in control.
