Support "National Eat at Chick-fil-A Day": July 25th

[bigfoot]

Hitler was raised Catholic and stopped attending mass in his youth. He wanted Germany and the Reich to return to it's pagan Norse roots and eventually return to the worship of Odin and Thor and the belief in Valhalla and all the pagan mumbo-jumbo that the Vikings embraced prior to becoming Christian. The Church was in clear opposition to the Reich and it's liquidation of Jewry and Slavs as well as the developmentally disabled. Catholics and the Church, were never synonymous with Nazi ideology, anymore than Lutherans were, who also opposed the Reich and the propaganda it was spreading, in order to inculcate the masses with it's poison. Himmler was a Lutheran in name only, I doubt he followed the teaching of the Lutheran church, while he was overseeing the liquidation of hundreds of thousands of innocents. Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan priest, comes to mind. He was martyred for his faith in Auschwitz, as he volunteered to take the place of a man slated for the gas chamber. Edith Stein also comes to mind, a Catholic nun who was a convert from Judaism, she was also liquidated in Auschwitz. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II, and is called Saint Benedicta in the hagiography of the Church. Everything that Nazism stood for, the Catholic Church was in opposition too.
