<> With all due respect, I think it rather an iffy proposition to expect a Church to stop Hitler.

The Pope's record re WW2 is remarkable.

I leave it to others to engage in presentism in moral casuistry re culpability/complicity concerning the Pope during WW2.

The record of the Pope is clear. Atempting to "blame" him re Hitler is despicable.

ALL Popes, since Pentecost, have been crystal clear re sexual morality and I have yet to see the world pay heed to their Teaching authority.

Iffy INSANE proposition to expect a Church to stop Hitler

'Upon this Rock I shall build my church'

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

This curious statement is found in Matthew 16:18,

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
