Communism or nαzιsm. Take your pick. Roosevelt was a crypto communist so we fought nαzιsm.
Does anyone here actually believe that allowing Hitler and his gaggle of wierdos to rule Europe would have been a good thing?
Remember nαzιsm was condemned in the encyclical of Pope Pius XI Mit brennender Sorge:
It condemned "pantheistic confusion", "neopaganism", "the so-called myth of race and blood", and the idolizing of the State. It contained a vigorous defense of the Old Testament with the belief that it prepares the way for the New. The encyclical states that race is a fundamental value of the human community, which is necessary and honorable but condemns the exaltation of race, or the people, or the state, above their standard value to an idolatrous level. The encyclical declares "that man as a person possesses rights he holds from God, and which any collectivity must protect against denial, suppression or neglect.
Though Hitler is not named in the encyclical, it does refer to a "mad prophet" that some claim refers to Hitler himself.
A five-member commission drafted the encyclical. The carefully worded denunciation of aspects of nαzιsm was formulated between 16–21 January 1937, by Pius XI, Cardinal Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli (later Pope Pius XII) and German cardinals Bertram, Faulhaber and Schulte, and Bishops Preysing and Galen.
No doubt that the Church had and has spoken on this subject and no Catholic can support or be a nαzι.
About Eisenhower exterminating the German soldiers I have heard of.
"God, I hate the Germans..." (Dwight David Eisenhower in a letter to his wife in September, 1944)
If he killed 1 or 2 million German soldiers by direct action on his part, without repentance, then he is in hell. He was no better than Hitler.
I have written extensively on the dubious nature of the encyclical in the past, so I won't retread that.
The BS that has been written that the "nαzι's" (a pejorative word invented by a Jєω) wanted "to rule the world" was largely attributed to British intelligence and was known to be false by FDR. A fabricated map showing the "plans of the Third Reich" was invented out of thin air. This map was waived around by FDR and sold to the US citizenry to persuade them to enter the war. So this business of wanting to rule the world is the stuff of Loony Tunes. THAT is the goal of Communists, and if it wasn't for the Axis, Europe would have swallowed up much sooner than it was. Alas, the bad guys won, and here we are.
