Reddit reviews Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII

Hitler wasn't a Christian; he was a pagan who worshipped Wagner and the "old gods" and wanted to restore what he saw as a heroic (i.e. militaristic) conception of Man. The torchlight processionals, the secret rituals, were all profoundly anti-Christian. Hitler actively prosecuted Christian churches until "Hitler's Pope," Pius XII, cut a deal with him - both equally cynical in what they hoped to attain from it. Christian youth groups were banned and disbanded and their members forced into the Hitler Youth instead.

See Unholy Alliance for Hitler's fascination with the occult, and The Third Reich in Power for this:

>Rosenberg declared in 1938, since young people were now almost completely under the control of the Hitler Youth and the Nazified education system, the hold of the Church over its congregation would be broken and the Catholic and Confessing churches would disappear from the life of the people in their present form. It was a sentiment from which Hitler himself did not dissent.

Or this from the same book:

>In July 1935...a speaker told a meeting of the Nazi Students' League in Bernau: 'One is either a Nazi or a committed Christian.' Christianity, he said, 'promotes the dissolution of racial ties and of the national racial community...We must repudiate the Old and the New Testaments, since for us the Nazi idea alone is decisive. For us there is only one example, Adolf Hitler and no one else."

The "cult of personality" makes no room for any other person, living or dead, at the top of the adoration pyramid. Hitler used religion as he saw fit to gain power and respectability, but had as much religion in him as our modern right wingers with their "do as I say not as I do, I've had my fun and I've had yours too" approach to morality.

My account isn't misspelled retard, it is intentional because "recession" is taken dumbass. As for the pius part, that is from my phone autocorrecting. The fact you are relying on typos shows how weak your argument is.

> Utterly moronic statement. This can only come from someone too dumb to be aware of the Pope's epistle entitled 'Mitt brennender sorge" (with burning concern). And that Pope Pius actually used the Church's own treasury to buy the freedom of Jews when Italy was put under German occupation. And that the chief rabbi of Rome actually converted to Catholicism because of the Church's effort to help the Jews in the city.

Maybe you should take your own advice about reading a book. The pope absolutely supported Hitler here is proof. Just because you are ignorant of the past doesn't make you right.

So yeah you're clearly uneducated and retard but you'll continue to act like the pigeon on a chess board so after proving you wrong here I am done, I'm sure you'll want to get the last word in as you continue to shit yourself and look like the retarded idiot you are.

>You're dumber than dirt. It is a shame that your existence wastes oxygen and food that could go to useful ends.

Mhmm, which is why my business I own and created will make more in This month than you'll make in a year. But I am the worthless one. ;)

Now go ahead and be the good l8ttle pigeon you are and equal some more while shitting yourself and thinking in your little pissant brain you won the argument because I am not going to waste my time responding repeatedly with a pigeon like you.

Ok but we're still mostly Christian.

He was a closeted supporter in many ways.

Mussolini had a treaty with the Pope for support, despite Mussolini being an atheist

Good thing we don't just depend on one source and claim, right?

Relying on exclusive access to Vatican and Jesuit archives, an award-winning Roman Catholic journalist argues that through a 1933 Concordat with Hitler, Pope Pius XII facilitated the dictator's rise and, ultimately, the Holocaust.
