    Hell, for all (Hitler's) efforts all he did was entrench communism and secularism in Europe, leaving a shattered continent in his wake. Find another creep to put on a pedestal.
    Not so fast.  Hitler hated Communism and wanted to rid Germany and the rest of Europe of its evil influences and control.  That he failed can, at least in large part, be attributed to the fact that he could not get the Allies, particularly Churchill FDR, to go along with him.  These,rather, armed, empowered and abetted Stalin and the Soviet Union.  They made it impossible that the true enemies of mankind at the time might be destroyed.

    Maybe this would be more credible if Hitler had not invaded Poland in union with the Soviet Union.

  • What you are saying is that the nαzι government was condemned by two pre-Vatican II Popes.  
    No, not at all, just warned of the excess.  The church does not condemn watching the NFL, but does not allow you to sleep thru mass to watch Football.  keep things in perspective.  Any of you have any relatives that were their?  I do.   I like football, watch the Chiefs every sunday, do NOT duck my religious obligations.

    You're certainly free to engage him, if you like.  But I suggest that it is an utter waste of time to do so.

    Those were pretty strong words for 'excess.'

    There have been no explanations whatsoever for "Positive Christianity" and how that wasn't blasphemous and heretical in the extreme.

  • Here is something that Pope Pius XI said about Christianity in Mit Brennender Sorge;

    9. Beware, Venerable Brethren, of that growing abuse, in speech as in writing, of the name of God as though it were a meaningless label, to be affixed to any creation, more or less arbitrary, of human speculation. Use your influence on the Faithful, that they refuse to yield to this aberration. Our God is the Personal God, supernatural, omnipotent, infinitely perfect, one in the Trinity of Persons, tri-personal in the unity of divine essence, the Creator of all existence. Lord, King and ultimate Consummator of the history of the world, who will not, and cannot, tolerate a rival God by His side.
    10. This God, this Sovereign Master, has issued commandments whose value is independent of time and space, country and race. As God's sun shines on every human face so His law knows neither privilege nor exception. Rulers and subjects, crowned and uncrowned, rich and poor are equally subject to His word. From the fullness of the Creators' right there naturally arises the fullness of His right to be obeyed by individuals and communities, whoever they are. This obedience permeates all branches of activity in which moral values claim harmony with the law of God, and pervades all integration of the ever-changing laws of man into the immutable laws of God.
    11. None but superficial minds could stumble into concepts of a national God, of a national religion; or attempt to lock within the frontiers of a single people, within the narrow limits of a single race, God, the Creator of the universe, King and Legislator of all nations before whose immensity they are "as a drop of a bucket" (Isaiah xI, 15).

    I was quoting Pope Pius XI. He was a pope who had nothing to do with Vatican II. It was said that Eugene Pacelli before he was elected to the papacy had a hand in its writing and promulgation. I think we should respect what these two pre-Vatican II popes had to say about Hitler and his philosophy.
