- hexo 9y agoand strong supporters of nazis... (speaking about catholics)
- lainga 9y agoCertain cardinals in the Vatican supported the Nazis. I don't see how the Kirchenkampf, Mit brennender sorge and the actions of Catholics in the camps were outweighed by those cardinals' actions, any more than the Belgians were Nazis because of Leon Degrelle.
