After reading this page, you will understand why the Roman Catholic Church

regularly threatens liberal Catholics with excommunication and the like, while rarely

doing much to curtail the writings and/or activities of conservatives in their church, nomatter how far out of bounds they go.

No matter how immorally the many prominent Catholic leaders of the Third Reich

acted their standing as "good Catholics" was never publicly challenged by their

church's leaders until defeat or death had denied these Nazi Catholics the power to do

much harm

Note 1: The list of heads of state above was originally compiled by a Hugo Borreson, from

Virginia, but thanks to information that I learned from Catholic critics, in Oct. of 2008, I

removed Augustin Voloshin,Miklos Horthy, Engelbert Dollfuss, Andrej Hlinka and Anton

Koroshec from that list as - for various reasons - they did not belong on it. This list

features only Catholics who headed the Nazi "axis" nations during the World War II era.

A more complete list of Roman Catholic dictators around the world would need to include

Ngo Diem of Vietnam, Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, Robert Mugabe of

Zimbabwe, the Duvaliers of Haiti, and a whole litany of Catholic dictators in the many

countries of Latin (i.e. Roman Catholic) America.

Efran Ros Montt (president of Guatemala from 1982 through 83) was one of the few

mass-murdering dictators of Latin America who was NOT a Catholic. He was a minister

of the ultra-conservative Pentacostal "Church of the Word" based in California and one ofthe many conservative "anti-communist" dictators supported by the Reagan

administration.

Note 2 : After quickly eliminating the

relatively few Jews in their country, the

Roman Catholic leaders of Croatia

unleashed such mindless fury on their other

non-Catholic neighbors that even their

German Nazi allies were appalled.

The Roman Catholics in Nazi Germany's Leadership :

Among the many Nazi leaders who were Roman Catholics, in addition to Adolf Hitler, wereJosef Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Mllerv and Rudolf Hoess,

(not to be confused with Hitler's Deputy Fuhrer and secretary, Rudolf Hess). Hermann

Goering, on the other hand, had mixed Catholic - Protestant parentage, while Rudolf Hess,

Martin Bormann, Albert Speer, and Adolf Eichmann had Protestant backgrounds. Not one of

the top Nazi leaders was raised in a liberal or atheistic family.

To be sure, the Roman Catholic Church wants to distance itself from all of these monsters

now, but it made no attempt to do so at the time, when it could have made a tremendous

impact. We only know of two individuals that Hitler killed personally, his wife Eva Braun,

and himself. To kill ten million other people, Hitler needed millions of helpers. He didn't get

those helpers from some planet in outer space like Mars. He got about two thirds of them

from the two thirds of Germans who belonged to the Protestant churches and the other third

from the third of Germans who identified themselves as Roman Catholics. The clergy all

knew how much Hitler needed all of these helpers and how mad it would have made him if

they were to tell the millions of their sheep how horribly sinful it was for them to have any

part in the Jewish Holocaust. And the pope himself deliberately chose not to inform the

consciences of his German subjects. As Lewy reported,

"When Dr, Edoardo Senatro, the correspondent of L'Osservatore Romano in Berlin, asked

Pius XII whether he would not protest the extermination of the Jews, the Pope is reported to

have answered, "Dear friend, do not forget that millions of Catholics serve in the German

armies. Shall I bring them into conflicts of conscience?" The Pope knew that the German

Catholics were not prepared to suffer martyrdom for their Church; still less were they willing

to incur the wrath of their Nazi rulers for the sake of the Jews whom their own bishops for

years, had castigated as a harmful influence in German life."... The failure of the Pope was a

measure of the Church's failure to convert her gospel of brotherly love and human dignity

into living reality."

(The Catholic Church and Nazi Germany, p 304 )

Adolf Hitler: There is so much to be said about the Fuhrer's Catholicism that we

devote an entire web page to it at CatholicArrogance.Org/Catholic/Hitlersfaith.html.

Fritz Thyssen, the most important single financial and industrial supporter of Adolf

Hitler from 1924 through 1939. As a devout Catholic, he would have been especially

amenable to advice from his church to stop supporting Hitler's rise to power. He gave




5/18

up all his properties in Germany in 1939 when his conscience moved him to renounce

Hitler and he fled the country. In 1941 he had a part in writing a book about his

financing of the Nazis called, "I paid Hitler". In 1940, he had written an important

article in theSwiss Arbeiterzeitungentitled, "Pius XII, As Nuncio, Brought Hitler to

Power." Thyssen's American banking partners, George Herbert Walker and Prescott

Bush, who had been helping to finance Hitler's rise to power since 1924 continued to

do so for another three years, until the U.S. government closed them down for

"supporting the enemy" in 1942. (Seewww.JesusNoRepublican.Org/about/bushfamily.html ) Thyssen was caught by the

Nazis, spent about three years in concentration camps and after the war was tried and

punished relatively mildly for his part in Hitler's crimes.

Heinrich Himmler( a Catholic ) was born October 7, 1900, as the son of a secondary

school instructor and strict Roman Catholic. . .

"A man often seen as the very personification of evil. Heinrich Himmler was not only

head of Hitler's SS police, but was also in charge of the death camps in the East. The

account of Himmler's life and his impact on the rise and fall of the Nazi state make a

gripping and horrifying story. But more than this, it is a profound moral andintellectual inquiry into the nature of evil in the human character.

Although Adolf Hitler held the ultimate responsibility for the killing of six million

Jews, it was Heinrich Himmler who essentially laid the detailed plans for the

Holocaust.

[ from http://www.auschwitz.dk/Himmler.htm ]

" Heinrich Himmler, Reichsfuhrer of the SS, Gestapo and German police forces,

seemed to be the one most impregnated by clericalism amongst the Catholic members

of Hitler's entourage. His father had been director of a Catholic school in Munich, then

tutor of Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria. His brother, a Benedictine monk, lived at themonastery of Maria Laach, one of the Pan-German high places. He also had an uncle,

Jesuit Joseph Gebhard Himmler, who had held the important position of Canon at the

Court of Bavaria.

"The German author Walter Hagen reported: 'The Jesuits' general, Count Halke von

Ledochowski, was ready to organise, on the common basis of anti-communism, some

collaboration between the German Secret Service and the Jesuit Order'.(121) As a

result, within the SS Central Security Service, an organisation was created, and most of

its main posts were held by Catholic priests wearing the black uniform of the SS. The

Jesuit Father Himmler was one of its superior officers.

After the Third Reich's capitulation, the Jesuit Father Himmler was arrested and

imprisoned at Nuremberg. His hearing by the international tribunal would have

apparently been most interesting, but Providence was keeping a watchful eye: Heinrich

Himmler's uncle never appeared before that court. One morning, he was found dead in

his cell, and the public never learned the cause of his death. (121) Walter Hagen,

op.cit., p.358.)

The Devil's Disciples

by Anthony Read

is a book published in several

languages focusing on Hitler's

inner circle of Nazi leadership :

Gring, Goebbels, and Himmler,along with their nearest rivals,

Bormann, Speer, and Ribbentrop.

"The son of a bookkeeper,Josef Goebbels was brought up in a devoutly Catholic

home. His parents hoped he would be a priest, but he saw his future as a writer and

instead studied philosophy and literature, earning a Ph.D. in drama in 1921. Goebbels'

literary aspirations were never realized, however. He received endless rejections from

newspapers and publishing houses and ultimately, his pompous overwrought stylemade him more suited to the life of political rhetoric.

"He was much disliked because of his malice and ill will, and though a mesmerizing

orator, he lacked charisma. Nevertheless, he was a man of tremendous enthusiasm

with an endless supply of ideas, and as a master of mass psychology, he became

indispensable to Adolf Hitler."

In 1928 Hitler made Goebbels his propaganda chief. After the Nazis came to power in

1933, Goebbels began to clamp down on all forms of artistic expression, banishing

Jewish writers, journalists and artists from Germany's cultural life. He took control of

the news media, making sure that it presented Germany's domestic and foreign policy

aims in terms of Nazi ideology. He played probably the most important role in

creating an atmosphere in Germany that made it possible for the Nazis to commit

terrible atrocities against Jews, homosexuals and other minorities. In some instances,

he authorized the violence himself. On November 9, 1938, after a German diplomat

had been killed by a Jewish teenager in Paris, Goebbels issued instructions for

"spontaneous demonstrations" to be executed against the Jews during the night. The

subsequent pogrom, often referred to as "Kristallnacht," led to the deaths of 91 Jews,

the incarceration in concentration camps of 30,000 others and the destruction of about

7,000 Jewish businesses and more than 900 synagogues."

[ from http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/ holocaust/peopleevents/pandeAMEX98.html ]

"By exploiting mob emotions and by employing all modern methods of propaganda he

helped Hitler into power. In 1928, Goebbels was elected to the Reichstag, and when

Hitler seized power in 1933 he made Goebbels propaganda minister. This position

gave him complete control over radio, press, cinema, and theater; later he also

regimented all German culture. Goebbels placed his undeniable intelligence and his

brilliant insight into mass psychology entirely at the service of his party. His most

virulent propaganda was against the Jews. As a hypnotic orator he was second only to

Hitler, and in his staging of mass meetings and parades he was unsurpassed. Utterly




7/18

cynical, he seems to have believed only in the self-justification of power. He remained

loyal to Hitler until the end; in Apr., 1945, he killed his family and himself while

Berlin was falling to Soviet troops."

[ from http://www.answers.com/topic/joseph-goebbels ]

Joseph Goebbels (seated) with his wife Magda, their eldest son (standing and inuniform) and the six young children whom they killed before killing themselves.

Goebbels was so close to fellow Catholic Hitler that Adolf served as first witness atGoebbels' Catholic marriage. The Goebbels admired Hitler so much that they gave all

the children they had together H-names : Helga, Hilda, Helmut, Holde, Hedda and

Heide. But at the end, Magda confided to her trusted friend and sister-in-law, "In thedays to come Joseph will be regarded as one of the greatest criminals Germany hasever produced. The children will hear that daily, people will torment them, despise

and humiliate them. (In order to spare them that fate) We will take them with us, theyare too good, too lovely for the world which lies ahead".

The eldest son by Magda's previous marriage, was in the Luftwaffe, and survived thewar.

"Reinhard Heydrich was one of Hitler's most ruthless Nazis

and second in importance only to Heinrich Himmler in the Nazi

SS organization and the principle planner of the Final Solution.

There was even talk of his one day succeeding Adolf Hitler."

Unlike Hitler, who survived several assassination attempts,

Heydrich was assassinated by partisans before he could executehis plans to kill millions of innocent Jews.

[ from http://www.shoah.dk/Henchmen/jpg_rheydrich.htm ]

"Heinrich Mllerwas Reinhard Heydrich's right hand man, and

carried on with his boss's diabolical work after Heydrich was

assassinated.

"Reinhard Gehlen was Hitler's Chief of Intelligence. Gehlen

was a devoutly Roman Catholic member of the Knights of

Martin Adolf Bormann, Jr. (born 1930) was thefirst of Martin Borman's ten children. "As a child

during World War II, he saw furniture in the house ofHeinrich Himmler made from human skin and bones.His mother, realising that a lamp shade given to herby Himmler must also be made from human skin,went home and burned it. He says that the memory ofthis has haunted him throughout his life.

After the war, he became a Roman Catholic and was

Malta, a Vatican military order. After the war, Allen Dulles, a

fellow Knight of Malta and the uncle of Jesuit priest Avery Dulles, brought Gehlen and

other Nazi criminals over to the US to work for the CIA and NASA. This operation,

called "Paperclip", was sponsored by J. Peter Grace a devoutly Roman Catholic man

and a high-level Knight of Malta. According to Jesuit-trained author John Loftus,

Gehlen trained Mossad at one point."

Franz Von Papen had headed the powerful Catholic "Center Party" and been a close

friend of Pope Pius XII from the time that he had been the Papal Nuncio to Germany.

Were it not for Papen, President Von Hindenburg might never have been persuaded to

make Adolf Hitler Chancellor of Germany. He beame Hitler's first Vice-Chancellor

and the Catholic statesman who negotiated the infamous Cordordat of 1933 on behalf

of the Nazi government. After the war, the allies spared his life, eventually freed him

and he returned to the good graces of the Catholic Church. He declared, "The third

Reich is the first power which not only recognizes, but puts into practice the principles

of the papacy."

Klau s Barbie, called the "Butcher of Lyon" because of his role as chief of the NaziGestapo in Lyon, France during the worst period of the Holocaust, 1942-1944, where

he took part personally in torturing French resistance fighters. As a young man he was

so pious that he planned to study theology. During his trial he was still pious enough to

proclaim "When I stand before the throne of God I shall be judged innocent".

Ju liu s Streicherwas the Rush Limbaugh of Nazi Germany, whose gross anti-semitic

mass-producedDer Strmerinfluenced the German masses almost as much as his

good friends Hitler and Goebbels. Although he abandonned the faith as an adult, he

was the product of a very devout Bavarian Catholic family, See http://www.holocaust-

history.org/short-essays/julius-streicher.shtml . He was the ninth child of a Roman

Catholic primary school teacher, and became a school teacher himself in Nuremberg.

Ru dolf Hoess (or Hss ) was one of history's greatest mass murderers, the architect

and SS Commandant of the largest killing center ever created, the death camp

Auschwitz, whose name has come to symbolize humanity's ultimate descent into evil.

Responsible for exterminating 2,5 million people in World War II, he was a mild-

mannered, happily married Catholic who enjoyed normal family life with his five

children despite his view of the crematoria chimney stacks from his bedroom window.

Rudolf Hoess would testify during the War Crimes Trials after WW2 that at peak

efficiency Auschwitz had the capacity to 'get rid of ten thousand people in 24 hours,'

Martin Bormannbecame very

anti-Christian latter in life, but

"Bormann first became

acquainted with Hitler at his

1929 wedding to Gerda Buch.

Her father was a chairman of

the Nazi Party Court, and a

powerful figure in Nazi circles,

so Hitler served as a witness to

the marriage. And a year later




9/18

ordained as a priest. He was severely injured in 1969and was nursed back to health by a nun. In 1971, theyrenounced their vows of celibacy and married. MrBormann has been a tireless campaigner to preservethe memory of the Holocaust and oppose the activitiesof Holocaust deniers."[ fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Adolf_Bormann ]

Likewise, Herman Goering (who was of Catholic &Protestant background) had a younger brother whowas very different from his notorious sibling. Albertplayed the part of a small scale Oskar Schindler, by

saving a number of Jews,www.auschwitz.dk/Albert.htm andncregister.com/blog/the-good-goering/.

Martin and Gerdas first son

was christenedAdolf, after his

Godfather, Adolf

Hitler." (McGovern 20-21).

This would indicate that

Bormann was either married

and had his first son christened

in Hitler's Catholic Church, orin Bormann's Protestant church.

Pope Pius XII was quite happy to wield his powerful excommunication tool shortlyafter World War II to dissuade Italian Catholics from even joining the Communist

Party, which was very popular in their country at the time. Yet, throughout the 12 year

Nazi reign of terror, not one of the multitude of Nazi leaders who were Roman

Catholic was ever excommunicated for their crimes against humanity, no matter how

monstrous! What's more, the ban on membership in the Nazi Party which the Catholic

Church had imposed prior to Hitler's successful power-grab in 1933, was actually lifted

that year, at the very time that the Nazis gained the ability to actually act on what had

only been terrible ideas prior to 1933.

Religious statements made by some of Hitler's fellow Christian Nazi leaders :

In a country where 99% of the population considered themselves "Christians", it

should come as no surprise that most of Hitler's henchmen, along with the vast

majority of German citizens, were Christians. Except for a very few who rejected

Christianity (like Bormann and Rosenberg), the rest used their influence (whether

through belief or political action) to support both Catholicism andProtestantism.Hermann Gring (Protestant proud of his Catholic mother)

"God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakeable

faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany."

- (Hitler's Elite, Shocking Profiles of the Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen," Berkley

Books, 1990)

Herman Goering's 1935 "wedding of the year" at Berlin's historic

Protestant cathedral, where Adolf Hitler (right) was the best man.

"How shall I give expression, O my Fuhrer, to what is in our hearts? How shall I

find words to express your deeds? Has there ever been a mortal as beloved as you, my

Fuhrer? Was there ever belief as strong as the belief in your mission. You were sent

us by God for Germany!"

- (Reden und Aufsatze, Munich, 1938)

"Although he himself was a Catholic, Hitler wished the Protestant Church to have a

stronger position in Germany, since Germany was two-thirds Protestant."

- (Trial of The Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal,

Nuremberg, 1945, Vol.9)

"I can see Himmler as

our Ignatius of Loyola"

"The Fuhrer wanted to achieve the unification of the Protestant Evangelical

Churches by appointing a Reich Bishop, so that there would be a high Protestant

church dignitary as well as a high Catholic church dignitary."



"With the Catholic Church the Fuhrer ordered a concordat to be concluded by Herr

Von Papen. Shortly before that agreement was concluded by Herr Von Papen I visitedthe Pope myself. I had numerous connections with the higher Catholic clergy because

of my Catholic mother, and thus I am myself a Protestant I had a view of both

camps."



"I myself am not what you might call a churchgoer, but I have gone now and then, and

have always considered I belonged to the Church and have always had those functions

over which the Church presides marriage, christening, burial, et cetera carried out in

my house by the Church."

- (Trial of The Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal,Nuremberg, 1945, Vol.9)

Joseph Goebbels (Catholic )

"The pious Catholic parents of Joseph Goebbels raised him and his two brothers in that

faith. He spoke of Hitler as "either Christ or St. John." "Hitler, I love you!" he wrote in

his diary.

"A Jew is for me an object of disgust. I feel like vomiting when I see one. Christ could

not possibly have been a Jew. It is not necessary to prove that scientifically it is a

fact."

- in his attempt to win the eternal gratitude of Hitler, (Hitler's Elite, Shocking Profilesof the Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen," Berkley Books, 1990)

"We have a feeling that Germany has been transformed into a great house of God,

including all classes, professions and creeds, where the Fuhrer as our mediator stood

before the throne of the Almighty."

- in a broadcast, 19 April 1936

Heinrich Himmler (Catholic )

"I swear before God this holy oath, that I shall give absolute confidence to the Fuhrer

of the German Reich and people."

- reminding his hearers about the oath taken by all SS men as well as by the military

forces (Hitler's Elite, Shocking Profiles of the Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen,"

Berkley Books, 1990).

"You Einsatztruppen (task forces) are called

upon to fulfill a repulsive duty. But you are

soldiers who have to carry out every order

unconditionally. You have a responsibility

and I have been moved to the depths of my soul.

But I am obeying the highest law by doing my

duty. Man must defend himself against bedbugs

and rats against vermin."

Notorious Henchmen," Berkley Books, 1990)

This mass murderer was brought up like young Hitler, as a devout Roman

Catholic, and was careful to attend mass regularly.)

Rudolf Hess (a Protestant)

"No matter what human beings do, I shall some day stand before the judgement seat of

the Eternal. I shall answer to Him, and I know he will judge me innocent."

- in a statement to the Nuremberg Tribunal, (Hitler's Elite, Shocking Profiles of the

Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen," Berkley Books, 1990)

"We believe that the Fuhrer is fulfilling a divine mission to German destiny! This

belief is beyond challenge."

- speech, 20 June 1934 (Reden, Munich. 1938, p. 25)

"With all our powers we will endeavour to be worthy of the Fuhrer thou, O Lord, has

sent us!"

- address to political leaders, Munich , 21 April 1938 (Rolf Tell, Sound and Fuhrer)

"You take an oath to a man whom you know follows the laws of providence, which he

obeys independently of the influence of earthly powers, who leads the German people

rightly, and who will guide Germany's fate. Through your oath you bind yourselves to

a man who that is our faith was sent to us by higher powers. Do not seek Adolf

Hitler with your mind. You will find him through he strength of your hearts!"- in his speech, "The Oath to Adolf Hitler," 1934

Rudolf Hoess (Catholic)

"In his Nuremberg cell, told psychologist G.M. Gilbert how he got brought up in a

rigorous Catholic tradition:

"My father was really a bigot. He was very strict and fanatical. I learned that my father

took a religious oath at the time of the birth of my younger sister, dedicating me to

God and the priesthood, and after that leading a Joseph married life [celibacy]. He

directed my entire youthful education toward the goal of making me a priest. I had to

pray and go to church endlessly, do penance over the slightest misdeed praying as

punishment for any little unkindness to my sister, or something like that. - (Hitler's

Elite, Shocking Profiles of the Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen," Berkley Books,

1990)

"When asked if his father ever beat him, Hoess replied that he was only punished by

prayer. The thing that made me so stubborn and probably made me later on cut off

from people was his way of making me feel that I had wronged him personally, and

that, since I was spiritually a minor, he was responsible to God for my sins. - (Hitler's

Robert Ley (a believer of some sort in God - denomination, if any, unknown.)

"Dr. Robert Ley held a number of positions in Hitler's Germany. He was

Reichorganisationsleiter (Reich Organization Leader), responsible among other things

for much of internal party education. He was also head of the German Labor Front(DAF), the Nazi "union" . He wrote in his personal "statement of faith", "We believe

that there is a Lord-God in Heaven, who created us, who leads us, who directs us and

who blesses us visibly. And we believe that this Lord-God sent Adolf Hitler to us, so

that Germany may become a fundament for all eternity.".

" Catastrophe was only narrowly averted. It was all due to the faith of one man! Yes,

you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found

God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune! -, in his

speech, "Fate I believe!"

"Understanding sometimes is not enough to explain something. Only faith is sufficient.

The Fuhrer in Nuremberg said: "Woe to him who does not believe!" He who does not

believe has no soul. He is empty. He has no ideals. He has nothing to live for. He has

no sunshine, no light, no joy in life. He is a poor, poor man. What is wealth? What are

possessions? What does it all mean? Problems come despite them, only faith is left.

Woe to him who does not believe! -, in his speech, "Fate I believe!"

"Our god is the wonderful law of creation, whose amazing unity of all things shows

itself if wonderful flowers, in growing trees, in new born children, in the secrets of a

mother, in the growth of our people, in work and accomplishment and creation, in life

itself. It is the joy we have in everything. How beautiful everything is. Do you feel the

same way? I am so happy to be alive. -, in his speech, "The Jews or Us...," 1939

Julius Streicher (Catholic )

"After Hitler's release from prison in December 1924, Streicher hailed Hitler's return to

politics as a "gift of God," a judgement the Fuhrer never forgot. Streicher held an

enthusiasm about allegations that the Jews murdered non-Jews in order to obtain blood

for the feast of Passover. He charged that Jews hated Christianity and mankind in

general. Streicher went to grotesque lengths in his attacks on Jews claiming the

discovery that "Christ was not a Jew but an Aryan."

"If the danger of the reproduction of that curse of God in the Jewish blood is finally to

come to an end, then there is only one way the extermination of that people whosefather is the devil...

"

- paraphrasing John 8:44 as his justification for extermination (Trial of The Major War

Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal, Nuremberg, 1945, Vol. 12)

"Only the Jews, he shouted, had remained victorious after the dreadful days of World

War I. These were the people, he charged, of whom Christ said, "Its father is the

devil."

Christ, the greatest anti-Semite of all time, had fought.

"

- (Hitler's Elite, Shocking Profiles of the Reich's Most Notorious Henchmen," BerkleyBooks, 1990)

During the Nuremberg trials, Streicher was asked about his participation in the

Nuremberg Race laws of 1935. He responded:

"Yes, I believe I had a part in it insofar as for years I have written that any further

mixture of German blood with Jewish blood must be avoided. I have written such

articles again and again; and in my articles I have repeatedly emphasized the fact that

the Jews should serve as an example to every race, for they created the racial law for

themselves the law of Moses, which says, "If you come into a foreign land you shall

not take unto yourself foreign women." And that, Gentlemen, is of tremendous

importance in judging the Nuremberg Laws.. These laws of the Jews were taken as a

model for these laws. When after centuries, the Jewish lawgiver Ezra demonstrated

that notwithstanding many Jews had married non-Jewish women, these marriages were

dissolved. That was the beginning of Jewry which, because it introduced these racial

laws, has survived throughout the centuries, while all other races and civilizations have

perished."


Nuremberg, 1945, Vol. 12)

When asked if there were any other anti-Semitic publications, other than Der Strmer,

published in Germany, Streicher replied:

"Anti-Semitic publications have existed in Germany for centuries. A book I had,

written by Dr. Martin Luther, was, for instance, confiscated. Dr. Martin Luther would

very probably sit in my place in the defendants' dock today, if this book had been taken

into consideration by the Prosecution. In this book The Jews and Their Lies, Dr.

Martin Luther writes that the Jews are a serpent's brood and one should burn down

their synagogues and destroy them..."

Nuremberg, 1945, Vol. 12)

In his book, "The Myth of Hitler's Pope"

one of the main thrusts of ultra-conservative Rabbi David Dalin is an attempt to shift

blame for the Nazi Holocaust from the Catholic Pope in Rome to the Muslim Mufti in

Palestine. Alhough the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, may well

have been a more willing collaborator of Hitler's than was the Pius XII - and therefore

more culpable morally -, how crucial to Hitler's diabolical mission was the Mufti's

support?

I don't know how many Muslims there were in Germany to be moved by the Mufti to

embrace the Nazi agenda, but my reading tells me that some 98% of Germans were

either Catholics or Protestants. Allowing for the Jews, the Jehovah Witnesses, the

atheists and agnostics, the "Bolsheviks" that Hitler claimed were under every bed, how

many of the balance were Muslims? Compared to the number of Catholics and/or

Lutherans who helped Hitler by rating out their neighbors, sharing their church records

to help the Nazis distinguish Christians from Jews, filling the ranks of the millions of

people needed to serve as police, soldiers, sailors, airmen, train operators, guards,

executioners, crematorium operators, etc., etc., how many Muslim followers was the

Mufti able to persuade to do Hitler's bidding? The answer, of course, is only a tiny,

insignificant fraction of the number of Christians who did the bidding of their Nazi

Catholic and Protestant leaders.

Here is an example of the moving music that was used to promote patriotic

sentiment among the Nazi SS :waffenss/WWII.mp3.

The largely Roman Catholic leadership of the Nazi regime :

The leadership of the Nazi regime was a virtual Catholic men's group, a chapter

you might say of the Knights of Columbus or Knights of Malta.

Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Josef Goebbels, Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Mller,

Rudolf Hoess, Julius Streicher, Fritz Thyssen (who bankrolled the Nazi rise to power),

Klaus Barbie, and Franz Von Papen were all Roman Catholics, as were the heads of all

of these NAZI countries : Leon Degrelle of Belgium, Emil Hacha of Bohemia-

Moravia, Ante Pavelic of Croatia, Konrad Henlein of Sudetenland, Pierre Laval and

then Henry Petain of Vichy-France. and the R.C. priest, Msgr. Josef Tiso, of Slovakia.

(who wasn't even defrocked after the defeat of the Nazis).

Although these were among the most visible Catholic lay people in their countries at

the time, did Pope Pius XII excommunicate a single one of them? NO. How can

anyone say that this pope did "all that he could", when he failed to take this obvious




16/18

measure so as to make it clear to the millions of Catholic faithful who were enabling

the Nazis to carry out their campaigns of mass murder, not only against Jews, but

against their fellow Catholics in Poland, that they should have no part in these

monstrous of crimes and most mortal of sins? Apologists for Pius XII who claim that

their crimes caused these people to be "automatically excommunicated" miss the point

that excommunication isn't intended to tell GOD who is a Catholic and who isn't but to

tell THE FAITHFUL whom to shun.

On the other hand, after the Nazis were defeated and no longer posed any threat to the

pope, the Vatican, or the Catholic Church anywhere, did Pope Pius XII allow the

Vatican to be used to protect thousands of Catholic war criminals such as the above to

escape punishment for their war crimes? YES. Whose side was the pope on?

Here are some of the more infamous war criminals the Vatican protected from

prosecution:

1. Adolf Eichmann, "the architect of the Holocaust", ,

2. Alois Brunner , referred to as his "best man" by Eichman,

3. Dr. Josef Mengele, "the Angel of Death",

4. Franz Stangl, commandant of the Sobibr and of Treblinka extermination camp,5. Gustav Wagner assistant to Franz Stangl,

6. Klaus Barbie, "the Butcher of Lyon",

7. Edward Roschmann, "the Butcher of Riga",

8. Aribert Heim, Mauthausen concentration camp's "Dr. Death",

9. Walter Rauff, believed responsible for nearly 100,000 deaths

10. Otto Wchter, who from 1939 on, as governor of the Cracow district, Wchter

organized the persecution of the Jews and ordered the establishment of the

Cracow Ghetto in 1941. Wchter is mentioned as one of the leading advocates in

the General Government who were in favor of the Jewish extermination by

gassing and as a member of the SS team who under Himmler's supervision and

Odilo Globocnik's direction planned Operation Reinhard, the first phase of the

Final Solution, leading to the death of more than 2,000,000 Polish Jews. After

the war Wchter lived in a Roman monastery "as a monk", under the protection

of Bishop Hudal, until 1949, when he died "in the arms" of Bishop Huda at the

Roman hospital of Santo Spirito.

11. Andrija Artukovi, "the Himmler of the Balkans"

12. Ante Paveli, head of Catholic Croatia, arguably the most murderous regime in

relation to its size in Axis-occupied Europe.

"Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and most members of the party's "old guard" were

Catholics", wrote M. Frederic Hoffet. "It was not by accident that, because of its

chiefs' religion, the National-socialist government was the most Catholic Germany

ever had. . . This kinship between National-socialism and Catholicism is most strikingif we study closely the propaganda methods and the interior organisation of the party.

On that subject, nothing is more instructive than Joseph Goebbel's works. He had been

brought up in a Jesuit college and was a seminarian before devoting himself to

literature and politics. . . Every page, every line of his writings recall the teaching of

his masters; so he stresses obedience. . . the contempt for truth. . . "Some lies are as

useful as bread!" he proclaimed by virtue of a moral relativism extracted from Ignatius

of Loyola's writings..."

Nazi leader excommunicated:

In 2008, an internet apologist for Pius XII who calls himself "Tribunus" described this

web page of mine as follows: "Your highly unoriginal and mendacious information is

simply a regurgitation from your own black propaganda web-site," and proceeded to

inform me that Pius XII had in fact excommunicated some of the above. When

pressed, he could give me only one example. Here's what I learned, after a minute'sresearch, about that one example :

"From 1940, the Belgian Roman Catholic hierarchy had banned all uniforms during

Mass. On July 25, 1943, in his native Bouillon, (the head of state) Degrelle was told by

Dean Rev. Fr. Poncelet to leave a Requiem Mass, as he was wearing his SS uniform,

which Church authorities had strictly forbidden. For assaulting, beating up and

sequestering the priest, Degrelle was excommunicated. The excommunication was

later removed after confession by the Catholic chaplain of the Walloon Assault

Brigade when it became clear that the unit was to be engaged on the Cherkassy front

line." ( so as to avoid his being sent to hell if he should die in battle with this

unforgiven deadly sin on his soul)

[ from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Degrelle ]

It is obvious from this episode that the Catholic Church's position was torture and kill

all the Jews you like, but don't you dare put a finger on a Catholic priest.

One Catholic who is proud of "top Nazi's being Roman Catholic":

After reading this web page of mine, one good Catholic wrote to tell me :

Date: Sun, April 27, 2008

"I really did not know that. It has made me very proud to be a Catholic.

Kind Regards.Pat O'Callahan"

"MY idea of Catholics to be proud of :

Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the officer who came closer than anyone to removing

Hitler with a suitcase bomb was a devout Roman Catholic. God bless him, that was a

truly heroic way of giving his life for his country.

Gordon Zahn was a Catholic social scientist who went to Germany in the 1970's in

search of evidence of heroism on the part of Roman Catholcs. What he found and

eventually wrote about was quite the opposite of what he had hoped to find. Among

other findings was the fact that there were only seven known cases of "conscientiousobjectors" among Catholics during the entire Third Reich. Thanks to Zahn's writing

about one of these, one of these was beatified in 2007, and I have published a page

about a hero his church won't canonize, because his lonely heroism is a perfect

illustration of thetruth of the prophet cry, "Where there is no vision, the people perish".
