It was not run by the Govt

Didn't have to be to PRECLUDE Hitler.

THe Catholic Church in Germany was faithful

Just like the Confessing Church was in PRECLUDING...United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Homosexuality and the Nazi Party, REVIEW

These men were viciously anti-Jew and anti-Christian because of the injunctions against homosexuality inherent in the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic.

While the neo-pagans were busy attacking from without, liberal theologians undermined Biblical authority from within the Christian church. The school of so-called "higher criticism," which began in Germany in the late 1800s, portrayed the miracles of God as myths; by implication making true believers (Jew and Christian alike) into fools. And since the Bible was no longer accepted as God's divine and inerrant guide, it could be ignored or reinterpreted. By the time the Nazis came to power, "Bible-believing" Christians, (the Confessing Church) were a small minority.

It is in this campaign against Judeo- Christian morality that we find the reason for the German people's acceptance of Nazism's most extreme atrocities. Their religious foundations had been systematically eroded over a period of decades by powerful social forces.

The probable reason for Hitler's attack on Christianity was his perception that it alone had the moral authority to stop the Nazi movement. But Christians stumbled before the flood of evil. As Poliakov notes, "[W]hen moral barriers collapsed under the impact of Nazi preaching...the same anti-Semitic movement that led to the slaughter of the Jews gave scope and license to an obscene revolt against God and the moral law.

<>I find your Christian-baiting despicable.

There is not a single Synagogue, Church, Mosque, existing, or that ever existed that PRECLUDES the existence of those who desire to act as their Will dictates.

Ping God and ask Him why He didn't PRECLUDE Hitler.... or Stalin (he killed more'n Hitler).....or Mao (He killed more'n Hitler and Stalin).

I challenge you to find a SINGLE Magisterial Document, Catechism, Encyclical, Ecumenical Council Document that supports ONE of your bigoted charges.

I have already said some INDIVIDUAL Christians acted atrociously. Did some Jews also act atrociously in re Hitler?<>
