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

[ham]

You may be surprised to read that some far-right groups (out of germanophobia or ideological divides) were opposed to NSDAP and fought in the resistence. Whereas germanophobic Maurras (royalist and localist) hailed as "divine surprise" the Petain government the defeat at Germany's hands had made possible.
The Catholic Church?
You'll find frocks and gowns on any side of the fence at all times, to be ready to seize the moment whoever wins.
A couple examples:
1 the constitutional priests during the French revolution. Some clergymen elected to the Etats Generaux inaugurated the movement (marriage, devolution of church properties...).
2 liberation theology. Jesus is interpreted as another Che Guevara. Very popular in Latin America especially in past decades, supports guerilla, violent overthrow of social injustice and the physical execution of opponents, all in accordance with (their reading of) the bible.
So we can safely say that Catholics are jacks of all trades in politics.
Also, some emphasize ideological dissent, while others see in Pio XI's distaste for Hitler just a reflection of Hitler's clampdown against the powerful Catholic party ZENTRUM in Southern Germany (Church estates, etc).
