Hitler, the Nazis and the Catholic Church

[The Librarian]

April 20, 1939 Archbishop Orsenigo celebrated Hitler's Birthday party. The celebrations were initiated by Pope Pacelli (Pio XII) and became a tradition. Every April 20th, Cardinal Bertram of Berlin went to offer "the warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the German Diocese", and added that "fervent prayers that the Catholics in Germany are sending to heaven upon their altars"

El 20 de abril de 1939, el arzobispo Orsenigo celebró el cumpleaños de Hitler. Las celebraciones, iniciadas por Pacelli (Pío XII) se convirtió en una tradición. Cada 20 de abril, el cardenal Bertram de Berlín fue para enviar "más calurosas felicitaciones al Fuhrer en nombre de los obispos y las diócesis en Alemania", y añadió con "fervientes oraciones que los católicos de Alemania están enviando al cielo en sus altares."

Capellán con una unidad de ametralladora La mayoría de las guerras justificadas por razones religiosas. Por supuesto, si un soldado se sentia inquieto por el sacrificio que otros hacian, siempre podían recurrir a un capellán que le explicaria pacientemente que el asesinato está permitido por Dios y sobre la moralidad de la guerra justa. A continuación, podría dar algunos ejemplos bíblicos de como Dios ordenó los asesinatos. Y entonces él podría decirles que Jesús los perdona y enviarlos al cielo si se llegase a morir.

I recently read these two books:

"The Pope's Jews" and "The Scarlet & the Black"

 Both of these books exonerate the Vatican and two Popes, Pius XI and Pius XII, from charges of supporting Hitler during WWII.

 "The Scarlet & the Black" was made into a movie starring Gregory Peck as the Irish Priest, Hugh O'Flaherty, who was at the Vatican and made it his mission to rescue as many Allied POWs and Jews as he could.  He risked his life to do it, right under the nose of the Nazi who had pledged to kill him.  The book has a very remarkable ending.

"The Pope's Jews" also has O'Flaherty in it, but focuses more on Pius XII and what he did to rescue Jews from the Nazis by providing not only money but fake baptism certificates and visas as well.

Well written and very informative.

TRINITARIANS, USING THEIR CORE DOCTRINES AS THEIR MORAL GUIDE ... over the years, have shed enough human blood for all the Navies of all the Countries in the world to sail upon with ease .... slaughtering EACH OTHER as well as all those unlucky enough to be in their way.

THE MOUNTAINS OF BODIES OF THE INNOCENT .... bodies of a half BILLION men, women and children, murdered in warfare, and by hardship, starvation,  deprivation and disease, in Europe alone in the past 1700 years PROVE the Trinitarian Doctrine is False, Bogus, and is an affront and insult to God, and a sin against humanity.

Remember .... Adolph Hitler loved dogs, and built magnificent architectures and road projects ....

BUT HE WAS STILL ADOLPH HITLER.

And the Trinitarians in Germany supported this murder.

And the Trinitarian Churches celebrated his birthday as if Christ had returned.

And streams of columns and rows of Trinitarian Clergy, all dressed in black ... marched down the streets of Germany, past reviewing stands, turned their heads to face the stand, and gave the Hitler Salute.

WORDS ARE MEANINGLESS in the face of such FACTS, which prove what theology is NOT really Christian.

Trinitarianism, by its works PROVES it is evil ... and WRONG.

.... and playing with a million words will NOT change that.

Pope Pius XII did everything to help the Nazis, and nothing to save the Jews

Amazing how this topic has been shared ZERO times after more than 2 years on this forum.

After watching this video you will rethink your "inaction"

Historian David Kertzer, author of “The Pope At War: The Secret History of Pope Pius XII, Mussolini, and Hitler,” joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.

Hitler had a secret "back channel" setup with the Pope.

10/16/1943 - They (Nazis) tried to arrest all of Rome's Jews ... and held them just outside the walls of the Vatican for 2 days... ends up 1,007 Jews were sent to their deaths in Auschwitz without protest to Hitler.
