In her Way of Perfection, Theresa of Avila said that she titles of nobility, bloodlines, and things like that were obstacles to holiness.

I am interested in finding that part of Way of Perfection, do you know what chapter discusses this? I ask because TFP and TIA seem to be obsessed with the elite, nobility, The Black Nobility and the Knights Templar.

Pope Pius XII is often taken out of historical context by those who have an ax to grind. The Pope was desperate for funds and was writing to the Italian wealthy who considered themselves to be "nobility." He did engage in some flattery of them. This is sometimes wrongly used (for example by Mr. Plinio of TFP) to pretend that his papacy supported bloodlines, nobility and the elite.

My intention in linking to the quote was to highlight the fact that race is not unimportant, in light of the constant referencing (often by poche) to Mit Brennender Sorge.

The specific line I'm thinking of is this one:

The nature of this great and mysterious thing that is heredity - the passing on through a bloodline, perpetuated from generation to generation, of a rich ensemble of material and spiritual assets, the continuity of a single physical and moral type from father to son, the tradition that unites members of one same family across the centuries - the true nature of this heredity can undoubtedly be distorted by materialistic theories. But one can, and must also, consider this reality enormously important in the fullness of its human and supernatural truth

Pope Piux XII could have been addressing a group of Italian peasants with that. It's not important in the context I'm using it that he's speaking to Italian nobles.

Seriously? German Resistance = Communists.

Thanks, Rum. I was just going off on a tangent.

And this is the man some posters here think was preserving Catholic civilization?

William Shirer was a Jew and knowingly admitted to omitting facts from his work, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. His work has long fallen out of favor by historians as new info has been discovered.
Yes, I do think this man was trying to preserve Catholic civilization. Unlike the Commie clerics in the Church's ranks that eventually triumphed at Vatican II. 
Your absurd inanities make me question your soundness of mind.

No, by that line of reasoning nαzιsm is so evil that its malevolence is recognized by every one.

Says who. And please quote

If Hitler was trying to preserve Catholic civilization then why is it that so many Catholic bishops and priests of teh time were against what he stood for? Why is it that many priests and religious went to jail rather than to allow the Catholic Church to associate itself with him and his philosophy?

He already told you. They were Leftist clerics already in ascendancy just prior to Vatican II.

All this happened before Vatican II.

So every bishop/priest was 100% orthodox prior to Vatican II?? What time and date exactly??
