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.
Lera:
Actually, your statement is historically inaccurate, there are maps of where Hitler received the majority of his votes and where he did not recieve a majority of his votes and it was the Catholic parts of the Country that rejected him. In fact, the Catholic party of which produced the mass resistance to Hitler and which produced the officer that tried to kill Hitler in 1944 just after the invasion of Normandy, was the major opposition to Hitler in what was I think the 1932 or 33 election.
